And here is the sec­ond part of our adven­tures in Paris.

We walked a lot every­where: from Notre Dame to the Champs Elysées, from the Lou­vre to Place Vendôme, along the Jardin des Tui­leries and all the way to La Défense, the busi­ness dis­trict. Phew!

    @Agnes — Thank you! Jeans are Esprit’s, bought them in a sale last sum­mer ;-)

    @Bluefish — Ver­sailles is quite far, I’d say about an hour. It’s really in the sub­urb. As for places to stay, I’m not sure… But I do know a cheap hotel on Rue de Riv­oli, nearby the Lou­vre. Email for details ;-)

    @Cuckoo — I climbed it only once actu­ally, last year!

    @beaverboosh — No, we are back for good in Canada in a cou­ple of days.

    @Linguist-in-Waiting — We are com­ing back now!

    @Bill Miller — I was glad to visit your blog, it’s good to catch up with North Amer­i­can life! The kids were skat­ing in front of the Eif­fel Tower, they were impressive.

    @expatraveler — Just for a few days — after all it’s only two hours from Nantes!

    @Seraphine — I wouldn’t like to drive around there… althought maybe once on the Champs just for fun!

    @Baoru — The kids were impres­sive, for sure!

    @barbara — Bonne chance avec le médecin, j’espère que tout se remet bien! Je croise les doigts pour toi… :-)

    Hi Zhu,

    Beau­ti­ful city, just beau­ti­ful! When I saw the Pan­theon I was like “every Euro­pean city must have one” because we also have a “Pan­teão” in Lisboa.

    As always, you look great, girl! Blue becomes you!! :D

    Cheers

    Loved both the parts Zhu! you made me pretty nostalgic.

    We were on quite a shoe string as we trav­elled around europe with Paris as our base. So sight see­ing in Paris used to be on foot. I remem­ber walk­ing many a times from Notredam to Eif­fel, along Sienne. The walk was so beautigul

    Thanks for the won­der­ful posts!

    Wow, you were in Paris again! Lovely pic­tures, which only make me wish to reach there sooner than later.
