Paris - Day 11

We started our day with breakfast at Café St Regis, a lovely little café on Ile St Louis, which became a favourite breakfast place for us. One of the waiters was a lot of fun, singing and joking with the customers. We had fresh crusty bread with jam and café au lait (coffee with milk) and hot chocolate.

We had an easy day as we wanted to slow things down after the hectic Spain tour and also because Michael was a little unwell with a virus.

We wandered around the Marais district north of Ile St Louis. We stopped for a while in Place des Vosges, one of the most popular squares in Paris. Built in 1612, it is an ensemble of three dozen symmetrical houses with ground floor arcades, steep slate roofs and large windows surrounding a large square.

We walked back to the riverside and strolled around Notre Dame and the Ile St Louis.Les mer
