Allez Monoprix!

After a wet, cool holiday weekend the weather is building up to a heatwave tomorrow, just when I am due to start my open air painting course. We go to the Parc de Vincennes way over to the east of Paris. I have never been there but I hope it's more interesting than the Bois de Boulogne which is just a series of grassy traffic islands separated by a car-racing track. Vincennes appears to have lots of pavillions and we are painting in the Peony Pavillion.
I needed to buy a folding stool and popped into my local Aladdin's cave of a Monoprix just in case.... and blow me, if they didn't have the perfect, lightweight, folding stool for 4 euros! I just love that shop.
