Paris!

After a fabulous Air Transat flight with no delays and no hiccups, we landed in Paris this morning around 10:30 a.m. Immigration was a breeze, and we were in a taxi in no time and checked into our hotel in the Latin Quarter. Good fortune continued to follow us and our room was ready even though check-in wasn’t until 3 p.m.. Bonus! We had time to get settled in and then headed out exploring despite our jet lag.
We’ve been to Paris many times before so there aren’t really any sites that we feel compelled to visit. We enjoy roaming the streets, admiring the architecture and people watching. We meandered up to the Seine. You couldn’t miss the fencing and police presence in the area in anticipation of tomorrow evening’s opening ceremonies.
We’d read about a place called The Great Canadian Pub which is a sports bar and a place to watch Canadian athletes compete and decided to head there for a snack. While we did meet people from Montreal, as well as from Toronto (they were from Riverdale and had lived on the same street as us!). It seemed to be run by South Americans with a very international clientele. We’ll probably head back there over the next couple of days and see if it becomes more Canadian as the games officially start.
One of the strategies we have for dealing with jet lag on day one is to have a short nap before dinner. So, in keeping with that strategy, we went back to the hotel and had a nap before heading out for something to eat and exploring the Pantheon area. We settled into a quintessential Parisian café and ate croque monsieur while we watched the pedestrian parade in the square. A perfect end to our first day.もっと詳しく
