Daily bread

Task of the day: finding my new bakery in my neighborhood.

First thing this morning I went to get a pain de campagne at Castel Durandet.  1.60 Euro.I received a warm welcome, unfortunately to my deception the loaf was semi hard and tasteless. A total disappointment. .


Early afternoon I ventured one block further and came across Boulangerie de L'Aiguillerie.  The greeting was polite no more, no less  Same kind of bread, 1.40 Euro with the possibility to be sliced. It is soft with a slight crust, with a fabulous aroma and taste. Hurrah I found my bakery!

Cafe

8:45 AM.  Such an early morning.  I decided to have my breakfast at a local terrace, "Le cafe de la Vieille Porte." 51 Rue de l' Université, A small coffee, OJ and a croissant for €2.60.  The coffee was bitter, the croissant old and the OJ.... Well lets not call it OJ.  The waitress was as bitter as my coffee. Strike one. Not to worry, there are plenty of other places to try around my neighborhood. Lets see what the rest of the day brings on such a sunny and warm summer day.
