Oh Paris, how I have missed you. We’d met only twice in my youth, but how I longed for you. With only a few decades of separation, we somehow managed to find 2.5 glorious days together last week. Your weather was perfection, and my schedule was wide open. Not a monument to be seen, I explored, I took my time. And how lucky we were.
Post plane, I dropped my bags and scooted over to a lovely salon hidden atop a movie cinema for a late lunch. (Moi, miss a meal?) Hidden atop a cinema, the space was perfect for me to relax and get my bearings. Then we were off to explore.
Near Les Invalides, the apartment where I stayed was perfectly situated near many charming boutiques and Le Bon Marche. I spent the next 30 hours or so exploring the 6th, the 7th, Le Marais and a small flea market in Vanves.
How much ground can a girl cover in two and a half days? Just ask my blisters.
So until we meet again, mon amie. A bientot. Next up, Morocco.
