On our way to Centre Pompidou

Before heading to Centre Pompidou, we had to head to the market to eat some more crepes.
White asparagus is everywhere.  This NY Times article makes me think that we should try it.
Pierre's Dad hates parsnips.  We took this photo especially for Pépé.
Pierre found a restaurant for us on La Fourchette, where there are some deals to be had.  We walked through the 3rd arrondissement to the restaurant.
 The LeBlanc brothers made inkwells and holy water holders...I think.

We stopped for a play in the Square du Temple 
 
Long ago,the Knights Templar had a fortress here (around 1300).  During the Revolution the prison that was here (1792-1808) was the last home of Louis XVI and the Dauphin Louis XVII.
There is a memorial in the park remembering all of the young children from this neighborhood who were deported to and killed at Auschwitz.
 
 We enjoyed a yummy Italian lunch and my sister-in-law made us very popular by speaking Italian and French.
