We headed down Rue Bressigny, crossed Rue Foche and entered the centre ville. The shops, boulangeries, and cafes were all crowded with students on their lunch break.

Yes, that is a Claire's.
Our first stop (of course) was La Grignotine, where I got my usual pain au chocolat. As we ate, we wandered up to the cathedrale, where we met a couple other students from our program eating on the steps leading up the hill to the church. We went down to the bottom and sat by a fountain, finishing our lunch while gazing up the hill at the town.
Here I am in front of the steps:

Afterwards, we went up to the Monoprix and did some grocery shopping. I've been living off of avocados and pumpkin soup, so I picked up some salad and cocoa puffs to liven things up. I also got a box of milk. Yes, a box. The rest of my shopping I left for the Saturday market.
It was getting late by this point, so I headed back up to the Catho for my French slang class.
