What, no Boulangerie?

It's hot in France so today the plan is to get out and about early, head back for a sleep, prepare for a sleep and maybe have a sleep.
There is no food in our unit so first stop was a boulangerie, which of course is not a problem in France - except in Carcassonne. Plenty of butchers, but raw meat was not part of the plan. 
We headed for the local Carrefour hoping they would have something. Donuts and a flaky apple pastry would have to do. 
Jeremy loved the donuts (he had several) but couldn't bring himself to admit that a supermarket pastry was up to the standard of its more expensive counterpart at any French Boulangerie.
Little by little he is losing his Australian roots. All those Thursday nights sampling the donuts and cakes from Bakers Delight at Macarthur Square are a distant memory. 
From here we headed on foot and pram to La Cité to visit in the coolest part of the day. 
Quite a nice place, not always pram friendly, and a spectacular kebab meal for lunch (Emma had the fish baby food and half a banana).
She was missing her nap time and got a bit grumpy, so needed a good old fashioned carrying back home.
After her nap we went for a walk to buy ingredients for dinner and ended up with way too much food. A game or two of Canasta (we have learnt how to play) and off to another broken sleep by baby night.
