Douceur Cafe

rue Lakanal

In the morning Leena and I went to the market on Place aux Herbes to buy apples. We came back to my place and made an apple crumble. Nisha joined us after a trying experience waiting in line at various offices looking to buy Eurail passes for her sister's upcoming visit.

We took the crumble over to Vincent's, who had invited us to lunch. It seemed he'd forgotten about the invitation however, as no one was home. We hung out in the stairwell for a few minutes and then phoned him. He was on his way home from working in a new gallery scheduled to open at the end of the month. He was tired and maybe a little aggravated at having three sugared up Anglophones in his kitchen. He made an excellent vegetable quiche and served it with a simple salad and red wine. Cheese and baguette followed. And then our dessert.

Leena and I decided to climb the Bastille twice to make up for the large lunch.

After eating, and recognizing that Vincent was calculating how to get us to leave, we went for coffee and tea to this cafe/bar. Grenoble is experiencing a cold snap, so we sat indoors. Leena ordered a lemon tea, Vincent a tea, and Nisha and I each had a cafe.
