Distant View ...

,,, opposite our 4th floor (5th floor, USA counting) in Paris 13e, late on a warm sunny afternoon.  A late midday outing to the nearby Carrefour Market was the most significant event of the day, as our jet lag passes. 

I've marked the map (an approximate guess :) for the distant location; our apartment is on the Rue des Peupliers, on the left side of the image.
