We didn't have a specific destination in mind when we left our apartment around noon today. We walked east to Belleville, a gritty working class neighborhood noted for its graffiti art. We ended up at a cafe called Biarritz where I ordered what was listed as filet mignon of pork with mushrooms and Bill ordered a salad de terroir (related to a sense of place). We were both happy with our meals even though Bill's salad had some unidentifiable ingredients.
We had a few afternoon errands to take care of, so returned to the apartment and didn't leave again until early evening. Again without having a specific destination in mind we walked roughly west. We found this. 
Continuing southwest we came across the ornate headquarters of the BNP Paribas bank.
After a short distance we reached the Opera (do you think it's ornate enough?) where we hopped on the Métro and returned home.
