Recently we've been noticing unusual clocks in our wanderings around the city. Yesterday we saw a beautiful clock on the wall of a building which I think was the Prefecture de Police. I don't remember seeing this clock in 2009, so perhaps it has been recently restored.
From Les Berges yesterday we could see the clock at the top of the Musée d'Orsay, a former train station.
Today we re-visited the Horloge à Automates, near the Pompidou Center where we saw The Defender of Time. It's a mechanical clock depicting a knight battling the elements, which are depicted as savage animals. Unfortunately the clock hasn't worked for many years.
Our lunch today was couscous at Chez Omar. I didn't take a picture because it looked very much like the couscous we had a couple of weeks ago. However, later in our wanderings we came across L'Éclair de Génie, a shop selling eclairs in a number of flavors. We bought fig, chocolate, and coffee.
