Hotel-Dieu

A friend of mine asked if I could find what is written in stone above the entrance of this hotel in Paris.

Thanks

Dear Pjk,

The Hotel Dieu is a hospital, not a hotel, per se. I understand that you can stay in rooms at the hospital, which are designed for people who are visiting patients. The Hotel Dieu is located opposite Notre Dame. Sorry that I don%26#39;t remember what is written above the doorway, but maybe the information that it is a hospital may help.

Bon chance!

Merci bien.

It%26#39;s just a block from my apt. I have to go to the post office anyway. I%26#39;ll go look and report back.

Nothing but the national motto from the French revolution that appears on all public buildings %26quot;Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite%26quot; and it is indeed written in stone. The only other sign over a door on the hospital was %26quot;Urgences%26quot; over the entrance to the ER.

Brilliant work, metromole!

Next time you%26#39;re heading to the post office in the morning, do you think you could get a couple of croissants and drop them in the mail for me?

Thanks!

%26quot;Croissant au beurre%26quot; or %26quot;Croissant light?

|||

Au beurre, bien sur! Je prends jamais les croissants %26quot;lite%26quot; - jamais de ma vie!!! (Ni la biere lite non plus!)

Merci beaucoup!

|||

d%26#39;accord. It%26#39;s tough trying to find really good bread/beer/restaurants in this one-horse town.

|||

In my photos i can read exactly %26quot;HOTEL DIEU%26quot; ... assez surprenant!

I feel sooo sorry for you, metromole...
