At the end of the day, we met up with Kate and went out to dinner.


Back at the Parc du Bercy, the Cinemathèque Française—housed in a building designed by Frank Gehry as the American Center—was sponsoring an outdoor screening on an inflatable screen. The film—something by Max Ophuls—wasn't to start until 10:30, after it got dark. So, we headed home.
