Great info! You're the best --
I'd have totally called this off topic but I did take my photos with a
Pentax KX
(nono, not THAT one - the "real" one from the 70's)

I knew I'd seen that place before.
It's in the Place du Pantheon and is the Mairie for the 5th Arrondissement.
I think you were walking on the pavement towards the rue Cujas, which runs
down the side, or possibly the rue Soufflot.

Working on my 2010 engagement calendar... using my photos
from my 1981
trip and there are a couple of locations I'm unsure of...
can you guys
help?
I know we were walking on the left bank not far from Notre
Dame... and
I once knew what these buildings are but not anymore...
Of course I can just caption it "along a street on the left
bank" but
I'd rather be more specific.
Now this one ... a story with it... I know I had just come from the
"Objets Perdu" place at
36 Rue des Morillions... which I figured out from my
journal notes as
I hadn't made any photo notes on this photo.
When I was in Paris it seemed everything was in a state of
repair...
and the objects in this photo looked like they were about to adorn
something..

No idea where this is, but I had a pleasant time being a
Googlemaps-flaneur trying to find it.
Yesterday I did some map questing and some street views in the area
and found this...

So I guess I was at the Place Jacques Morette, non?
Don't know what the signifigance of the bull is...
The bulls on either side of the entrance to the Parc Georges
Brassens are apparently by one Auguste Cain, who specialised
in animal sculptures. They used to adorn the entrance to an
abattoir but were moved, presumably when you were there to see it!

According to this site:
<http://www.fra.cityvox.fr/visiter_paris/parc-georges-brassens
_103102590/Pro
fil-Lieu>
the park is on the site of the former Vaugirard abattoirs,
which seem to have been on a similar scale to La Villette.
