Window Shopping
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 45 °F
There were so many interesting shops here that I would have liked to visit but, unfortunately, all of them were closed. I'm hoping that we get a chance to come back in the day time, when everything isもっと詳しく
M & S Food Store
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 45 °F
Passage Jouffroy is a small shopping mall in the style of the early eighteenth century. Back then, this place brought people off the street for drinks, food and shopping and it still delights today.
High End Shopping
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 45 °F
The architecture here is more of a draw than the shops themselves, but we enjoyed window shopping. Although we didn't go inside, since everything was closed, all of these stores look very expensive.
Hard Rock Cafe
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 43 °F
The Hard Rock Cafe was right down the street from our hotel. With Passage Jouffroy and Hard Rock Cafe so close, plus a metro station right outside the door of the hotel, I'm thinking that we picked aもっと詳しく
Going Down?
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 43 °F
We didn't have to walk very far before we came to another metro station, this one called Richelieu Drouot. It seems like getting around in Paris is going to be very easy and convienent. These stationsもっと詳しく
Richelieu Drouot
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 43 °F
Here's another look at the metro station but from the other side. From this perspective, I can see that the entrance is a lot wider than the what we are used to in New York. I guess that it's easierもっと詳しく
Outdoor Dining
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 43 °F
We're still seeing every single place that offers dining having the sidewalk seating. Some of it is right out on the sidewalk and some of it is in these enclosed, or semi-enclosed, glass rooms. Theもっと詳しく
Exploring the 9th Arrondissement
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 41 °F
We're having a lot of fun exploring the neighborhood around our hotel. It would be nice to go and see some of the major attractions of Paris but we're just too tired today. The same thing happened toもっと詳しく
Street Food
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 41 °F
Just like in New York City, Paris has street stalls preparing, and selling, food for people on the go. There are a lot less of this sort of thing in Paris though. In fact, this was the only stall thatもっと詳しく
Empty Tables
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 41 °F
Here's another restaurant that features outdoor dining but, like most of the places that we've seen, there's no one eating there. It can't be that it's too cold. This place has the inner restaurant,もっと詳しく
Another Passage
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
This is another passage way that was right across the street from Passage Jouffroy. While it's similar in it's idea, it doesn't really have that stylish old-world charm that Passage Jouffroy has. Thisもっと詳しく
Victoria Station
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
This restaurant doesn't look French at all. It has a British name, Victoria Station, but the way it looks, with all the neon and dark colors, it makes me think of an American steakhouse. The outsideもっと詳しく
Nearly Back Home
2017年11月6日, フランス ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
This is a place that we got to know quite well. We didn't eat here but it was right outside the door of our hotel. So, this restaurant became our landmark. When we saw this place, we knew that we wereもっと詳しく
Rise and Shine!
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 32 °F
I'm just waking up to our first full day in Paris. It's right around 8:00 in the morning so I'm thinking that I'm almost adjusted to the time difference between here and New York. I'm thinking that itもっと詳しく
Time for Breakfast
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ 🌫 37 °F
This is the McDonald's right down the street from our hotel. We decided to eat here just to have something quick so we could get started on site seeing.
I'm not sure I like the McDonald's here inもっと詳しく
Order Up!
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ 🌫 37 °F
After we ordered our food, we picked it up at this window. I'm not sure how breakfast here is going to taste because the menu here is quite different from what the breakfast selections are like inもっと詳しく
Earl Grey, Hot!
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ 🌫 39 °F
Our food was acceptable but not the greatest. Actually, we were both disappointed with our first breakfast in France. We agreed that we wouldn't come here for breakfast again.
I got their beef andもっと詳しく
To Saint Michel - Notre Dame
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F
Kathy still looks a bit tired as we rode the metro to the Saint Michel - Notre Dame stop. At least she got a seat. I had to stand the whole ride. It wasn't too bad though. Everything seems to be quiteもっと詳しく
The Metro
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F
As we came out of the metro at Saint Michel I saw that this station had the more fancy type of station entrance. I thought that I was going to have to search for one of these but it was so easy toもっと詳しく

At Gibert Jeune's
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 43 °F
Gibert Jeune looks to be a major book seller in the Saint Michel district. I love bookstores so this would have been such an interesting place to me but, unfortunately, since I can't read French, Iもっと詳しく
Scenes of Paris
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 45 °F
Not only did Gibert Jeune sell books but it looked like they had a big selection of postcards also. I always love collecting postcards from places that we travel to and now it seems that Veronica andもっと詳しく
Exploring Saint Michel
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 45 °F
The Saint Michel district is full of these narrow alleyways. It gives the area a very old world European feel. This seems to be an area that's designed, primarily, for tourists. The main things thatもっと詳しく
Here in Saint Michel
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 45 °F
In Les Miserables, Gavroche sings about the slums of Saint Michel. This probably refers to this area near the Chapel Saint-Michel in the Latin Quarter of Paris, a section in the 5th arrondissementもっと詳しく
Saint-Michel
2017年11月7日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
Winding cobblestone streets, flower-adorned balconies and arthouse cinemas: these are only some of the features that contribute to the Saint-Michel neighborhood's charm. Nestled on the west side ofもっと詳しく
