paris in spring
Weeks ago now we went to Paris for four days, because its there, because its spring.....
This time we stayed in a small apartment on Rue St Severin in the Latin Quarter. The location was brilliant but noisy. The apartment is in the narrowest building in Paris, the Madeleine building, and is ten centuries old. It showed. Volataire once lived in our apartment and at times it smelt as if part of him still did, the floor sloped one way, the bed the other, it was reeking with character. (At least thats what I hope it was!)
Next time we will probably go back to Montmartre. our favourite "wijk", quieter and less tourists, but we still had a marvellous time. The weather was wonderful so we spent a lot of time sitting on the banks of the Seine, lounging in the Jardin de Luxembourg, we also caught up with the Friday night skate, shopped at the market on Rue St Germain, and took afternoon naps and did not much at all. Geweldig!
