Pictures of the street we stayed on.
The hotel was in a local neighborhood, not in a touristy area.
There was a cheese shop next to the wine shop next to the produce shop next to the pharmacy shop next to the seafood shop next to the bakery next to .....
There were also cafes to stop and have a coffee and watch the day unfold. That is exactly what we did on our last morning in this part of the city. We had coffee and crepes. Chocolate for Emma, with a 2nd one ordered by Mark, and a crepe suzette for me. I can't even describe how much I enjoyed that crepe!
We watched the local older women go up the street with an empty cart, then return an hour later with their basket full of food, and a baguette sticking out the top.
We watched elementary age children walk down the street in pairs, on their scooters, some with a nanny, some not, headed home for lunch break.
We watched older kids, high school maybe, walk down the street looking for a cafe to stop and have lunch in.
We had an amazing time, just people watching. This would be my greatest regret for our trip. We did not take time out of our sightseeing to do this in every city. Only in Paris. But we now know what to build into our next travel itinerary....
Up next: Random Paris photos....
