I think Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. What could be better than a leisurely walk through the fascinating streets?
The morning started well with a pretty sunrise. Here is the view from my window. I love these rooftops with their chimneys.
We walked to Frenchie to Go for breakfast. It is in Rue du Nil, a cute little street with some great food shops.
Frenchie to Go serves great coffee and a very delicious bacon sandwich.
Le Louvre des Antiquaries made for an interesting stop…no photos were allowed inside past the foyer…pity.
No prizes for guessing where this is.
This appears occasionally.
Le Bon Marche is one of my favourite stores.
Especially good is the food market area. I think the French do the best pastries.
Here it is from the other side.
It is important to look up occasionally when wandering.
A day in Paris is not enough.
Paris is definitely the most beautiful city Debra! Love it! Thank you for the wander!

As king Henri IV said: “Paris bien vaut une messe”. One of the most interesting and beautiful cities in the world. A pity that they did not allowed photos at Le Louvre des Antiquaires. A fascinating place! Next time, you should have breakfast here: http://www.cafedeflore.fr/

what a lovely day. I particularly like the photo of the Eiffel Tower through the bare tree branches and those beautiful pastries – the fig ones look wonderful. Don’t Tv aerials and satellite dishes look odd on old buildings. I think I could spend quite a lot of time just breathing in Rue de Nil.

We bought the fig pastry, and the raspberry sauce, and they were excellent.

And how good is it to have a city where you CAN actually walk and still reach the places you want to get to?

I’d like six months in Paris. I’d write a book. Sitting at a tiny window and tiny desk, over looking cobblestoned streets. I write for hours and hours and when I was tired of writing I wander down stairs to the tiny cafe on the corner, order coffee and a teeny pastry. I’d look out on passing people, the busy streets and be so inspired once more, I’d have to race back to the tiny desk at the tiny window and write some more….sigh. Paris…one day.
