It is just amazing how much
we walk when in Paris and
how long it takes (we don't mind at all) , because
we are so busy chatting , looking
up and down and all around!

I have not eaten here , but have done a little
research on google , seems everyone who has
been likes it .. 4 stars! Also found this very good
review , thank you Bonjour Paris Website
and as I do like Breton Crepes , I might get a chance to
give it a try one day!!

DeleteOoh, I went to visit Pere Lachaise when I was 18 and interrailing round Europe...We arrived very early in the morning and of course being 18 year olds headed straight to Jim Morrisons grave where there was already a small crowd. We then jumped om a train to Holland!

DeleteThank you for the lovely virtual walk, I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteHi Elisa , lots more to see :-) happy you enjoyed this little walk ,
DeleteHow fascinating to see the change of arrondissement, and street names etched into the stone. I didn't know that the arrondissements had changed. I haven't been to Pere Lachaise either, I feel it's a big oversight. It is incredible how far you walk in Paris, I took my pedometer last trip, and averaged 25-30,000 steps a day- when at home it's a struggle to get to 15,000, and 20,000 is a big effort. 25,000 in Paris was no effort at all!
