Another hot day in Paris, and another day spent walking. Today it was a long, slow walk to Notre Dame, inspecting the souvenirs and artworks along the banks of the Seine. Some of the paintings were very touristy, while others were not exactly unfamiliar! Notre Dame Cathedral
was quite plain inside, but the outside was beautifully carved, especially the flying buttresses. The return walk was through the Left Bank district to the Luxemberg Gardens – what an amazing place. Beautiful lawns that no one is allowed to walk on!!! Everyone sat on chairs along the edges of the paths and lovely round pond on which children sailed yachts. Then it was a long, hot and slow walk through the back streets and main boulevards to return to our hotel. One would never starve in Paris (although may become bankrupt!), there are sidewalk cafes everywhere.

Paris looks wonderful in the sunshine - all the pictures I have of it (courtesy of Shan) are in the winter, and everything is a little grey! Nan was happy to get your blog, and loved the photos of your trip so far. She was also very good with Jack, who grinned and giggled at her when she made funny faces. By now you must be on the road in Scotland in your new rental car! Happy trails!
