Paris

Have spent two full days in Paris walking and exploring the sites and the back streets away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

Amazing monuments, museums, architecture and sculptures.
 Favourite things...... walking down a back street and finding a local street market where local people were buying their flowers, bread, cheeses. Everything was so fresh and beautifully displayed. Ladies with bundles of flowers under one arm and a wee dog on a lead in the other hand.

Loved walking around St Germaine, found a 400 year old Robinia tree in a wee park by Notre Dame, the oldest vineyard in Paris on the side of a hill in Monmarte, the old flour windmills, the  Pompidou centre and the incredible art collection there. Too much to list all here and wi-fi is a bit dodgey.
