April in Paris (Cartes Postales de Paris)

We had no plan of action for our second day in Paris, so we just set off towards the Seine River.

And oh yes ... "April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom" ...

The chestnuts are in full bloom unlike our naked tree back home in Canada.

Spending time in Paris is like being a kid again in a "Candy Store", there are so many choices of wonderful places to see and things to do.

We wandered and wandered all day long!

My Fitbit recorded 16,270 steps, 10.4 kilometers and yes Monsieur Honey kept up with me. 

Hotel de Ville

Notre Dame ... freshly cleaned and looking good as new ...

A saunter along the banks of the Seine River with wonderful views and stops at various vendors ...

Pont Neuf ...

Love locks ...

I think a sidewalk café is calling us for some lunch and refreshments before we continue our exploration.

Come back and join us for the rest of our day in the next post ...

A Glimpse of Day Two in Paris...

It was a busier day than expected, with many, many steps walking to view many sites ...

I'm more tired than I thought I would be and I'm ready for a good night's sleep.

I'll be writing and posting "postcards" very soon! 

 

I captured over two-hundred picture "postcards"!

Stay tuned for many postcards from Paris...

We've Arrived ... Cartes Postales de Paris!

Nous sommes ici! 

We arrived in Paris early this morning without much sleep in the last twenty four plus hours. 

After meeting our landlord and a brief introduction to the workings of the apartment, we opted for a quiet nap time.

Refreshed we toured the area to familiarize ourselves with what the Marais has to offer.

The streets in the Paris neighbourhood where we are staying welcomed us with the most beautiful and colourful show of fresh flower bouquets, warm sunshine and clear blue skies.

We enjoyed a late lunch / early dinner and did a quick grocery pickup at the super marché.

After a goodnight's sleep ... we will be ready to explore and discover more of Paris tomorrow.

Will have to go back and check out the art work on this building ... can you see it?
