Opera, anyone? |
Yesterday I ended my vacation - suitably glamorously! - with a day in Paris, just noodling around with a friend. We managed to put in at least four hours of walking, a bit of shopping, lunch and various refreshment stops, and a quick visit to the club. It was a glorious autumn day, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer city-break!
The weather was good for taking pictures - at long last! - so I took quite a few. Enjoy!
Palace of Justice opposite our luncheon location near Cite Metro station |
Very popular with tourists, of course |
Walking across the Pont au Change |
Palais de la Cite finally had the scaffolding removed |
Fishing in the Seine |
Pedestrianised road along the river |
Upper storied tenants waiting for the rock on the road festival |
Police preparing for the rock festival |
One of the rock buses full of happy people and ear-popping music - we fled |
Quiet side street |
Alternative street music - much nicer! |
Sometime watered their seeds, and dripped down on me!!!! |
We walked all the way from Cite to the Gare du Nord! |
I had an entire first class carriage to myself - no idea why or how, but it was great! |
