Random pics from our last full days in Paris. Of course we will return as it is one of our favorite places to be. Even though we have spent what ads up to months here we have yet to see it all. The Picasso Museum which was due to open June 1st is still no where near opening - a good excuse to return!

The Rat Store Story, in part.
Aurouze has been killing rats for 135 years. In its window hang 21 dead rats, their necks crushed by steel traps. They've been there since 1925. `Ratatouille'' has made
Aurouze, the real-life rat-trap shop in central Paris, something of a tourist attraction.
We'll never take them down,'' says Cecile Aurouze, 34, who along with her brother Julien, 30, runs the business founded by their grandfather in 1872. ``They are the emblem of the store.''
We are leaving at early tomorrow and heading to the Loire Valley for a few days. Stay tuned for castles and countryside.
