St. Anne's from Rue de Tolbiac

We were invited to tea at my cousin Rosy's with other friends this afternoon, and paid our respects to her two-month-old daughter Meena. It was a different bunch from the tea on 8 January--but equally eclectic interesting to talk to.

We walked both ways, since the usual bus 62 along Rue de Tolbiac had fallen victim to the Chinese New Year. Returning I took this shot of Sainte-Anne de la Butte-aux-Cailles, which is quite close to our apartment in Paris 13e. (The cross on the church's main dome is visible on the left, just above the streetlight to its left.)

Our favorite close bakery is St. Anne's, opposite the church. The architecture ("romano-byzantine") is suggestive of Sacré Coeur in Montmartre, which also dates (very roughly) from around 1900.
