After Notre Dame it was time for a restorative beverage and some shade, so we headed over the bridge to a bar on the river: Cie Les Maquereaux
Just as I was ordering there was a sudden roar of jet engines as the Patrouille de France flew right overhead, red white and blue smoke in their wake:
They were followed by about 30 other military aircraft over the space of 20 or so minutes, in what we worked out was a practice run for La Fête Nationale on Monday.
Rounded off our day with dinner at the excellent Les Deux Colombes just back on the island.
