Paris

We took a day trip to Paris. We drove to the Metro station in Porte de Orleans, parked, and set off for the city. We had no itinerary, no planned tours, no agenda- so un-Dillard like! We got off at St. Michelle on the blue line. We had lunch at a small café, wondered a bit, and then came upon Notre Dame.








The strangest thing was in the square directly in front of Notre Dame there was a “Fete du Pan”- a bread party! The bread was fresh and the birds appreciated the party as much as we did.









Next we wondered over down the river, past the river side vendors, bought a few posters, past the Jardin District (Garden District), and to a park with many interesting sights.



Last we came upon a park that had an under-ground mall that looked like an arboream, an ancient and beautiful church, a children’s playground and an amphitheater like court yard with a gigantic piece of modern art. We picked up some crepes and had a picnic in the park. Then hopped back on the Metro and headed back to our small cottage.
