So we spent a few days in Paris and it was, in short, amazing – we got back late yesterday night. Today I have been shuffling (digitally) through the photos I took (for hours now) and to be honest, its a little overwhelming, we crammed so much into four days and walked maybe a few thousand miles…
We obviously stuck fairly close to the tourist trails but rather than going on the metro, we walked everywhere which meant we also saw a lot of the city between ‘the sights’. Our hotel was just east of the cool, Marais area with its little designer shops and scruffy cafes so we were pretty central.
The things we went deliberately to see, the obvious places, didn’t disappoint and many well exceeded our expectations. Other things we stumbled across by chance and it was those I really enjoyed. That pylon, the paintings and the parking…. just some of the things we expected to find, and Paris didn’t let us down…
