Madrid to Paris - Day 10

On our last morning in Madrid, we walked from our hotel, the Hesperia Madrid, into the city for some last minute sightseeing and shopping.

We bought two compilation CDs of flamenco music, one of Spanish virtuoso flamenco guitarist, composer and producer Paco de Lucía, and supposedly the greatest flamenco singer ever, Camarón de la Isla (considered as the gypsy god of flamenco).

In the afternoon we flew to Paris, arriving at our hotel, Hotel du Jeu de Paume, on the Isle of St Louis, late in the evening.

Ile St Louis is an island in the middle of the Seine River and like the other nearby island, Ile de la Cite, is the historic heart of Paris.

Ile de la Cite is home to Notre Dame Cathedral, along with the Conciergerie and Ste Chapelle.Baca lagi
