The museum pass seemed like a good idea at the time as it promised an economical means of visiting several of Paris’s renowned museums. Nothing was said about scheduled strikes. 
Gendarmerie were plentiful today as demonstrations of striking workers shut down every museum within the vicinity.
At this rate, and even if workers are back to work tomorrow, we have to cram a lot of museums into our remaining days to pay for the pass. Or we can just relax, continue at our present pace and go where the wind blows. Maybe we will just say with our friends, “c’est la vie”.
Speaking of blows, we witnessed a fight on the public bus between two elderly ‘gentlemen’. 
There were harsh words (and one did not need to be fluent in French to understand them) and pushing and some surprising neck and face slapping. 
At least the French were as alarmed as we were!
The photos tell more of our day visiting Notre Dame Cathedral, Arc d’Triumphe, L’ Defense and an upscale Parisienne mall.
Just in case you’re wondering, the fog hung around till about noon and then the sun came out and warmed everyone up to a toasty 23 degrees. Warm enough to justify an Isle St. Louis gelato! Yum!
