Museum Day ...

We walked up to Rue Lepic and had breakfast at a boulangerie - pain au chocolat and coffee. It's not raining so far, and we were amused by the drunks still stumbling out of bars at 9am!

We booked an 11.30am timeslot at the museum D'orsay and made our way there by metro, getting off at the Solferino metro. It didn't look too busy from outside but was packed inside! So many people walking around completely oblivious to their surroundings with audio headsets on! We still enjoyed the museum and wandered all the way to the top floor - that's where the Monets are!

Afterwards, we walked back along the Seine river towards Notre Dame, where we'd spotted a Canadian pub. We had a really good lunch and a few drinks before taking a very busy metro back 'home'.

It was looking a bit rainy in the evening, so we walked around the corner to a little bar, Midnight bar. We had a couple of cocktails and chatted to the American owner for a bit.

It was raining now, and we returned to the apartment for cheese, dip, baguette, and wine. Enjoying the Paris vibes.Read more
