Mostly pics today. I took another long hike and might have hurt my calf, but my launching place could not have been better. I met the most charming waiter/host who admonished me on my poor French before seating me in his small cafe for some of the most wonderful scallops I’ve ever tasted. Plus it was affordable. I just smiled between bites like someone who’d had too much wine and told him J’taime Paris on my way out. I do wish one could tip sometimes.
Then I made my way to the Seine. I think most reading this blog will know why. The sun was shining, it was a good day for it. On to Ile St. Louis and then…
Said goodbye and watched Su float away here.
Turn the corner to the lone trumpeter and I imagine taps for Su.
After some time of being emotional, I realized I’d missed some important spots on Ile de la Cite…
A bit of Old Paris (before Haussmann) on Ile de la Cite
The Conciergerie, a nice name for prison. Contains the cell of Marie Antoinette, etc.
Revolution!
The yard at The Conciergierie
Vaulted ceilings, coulmns, arcades, and bars
Now a tourist attraction
Attarcted to this medieval style staircase.
