We arrived in Paris on Wednesday morning and have spent the last couple days soaking it all in. Although I had seen it before, the Tour Eiffel still took my breath away. The Notre Dame is just amazing, and the weather has been nice and chilly with a little rain scattered here and there. There have already been some gastronomical highlights that I would like to mention. First of all, we love AirFrance! Shortly into our flight we were served an aperitif (champagne), then we were served our meal and a bottle of wine, and after the meal they offered a digestif (congnac). It was amazing.
Our neighborhood is perfect for us. It is really close to a metro station and a wine shop, cheese shop, bakery and deli are all within a few minutes walk. It feels very authentic. We have been delighting in the light-as-air croissants....so soft...so buttery.... However, we have been earning our indulgences. We have been doing a lot of walking and more walking and more walking. It really is the best way to see the city though. For example, here are a few pictures from our first long walk. Enjoy.
