Early this morning we went out to the stores to buy a meal for Christmas Eve (see later). Everybody was in a good mood. We had quite a long discussion at the Monoprix checkout counter with t he clerk and another couple about the use of whisky to improve a cup of tea. The street was quite busy and I took a number of pictures to illustrate what is available on the rue de Levis.
