An Adventure in Paris, fin.

All too quickly our last day in the beautiful city of lights arrived. After walking 45 miles in 3 days our feet weren’t up to much walking. If you ever go to Paris take and wear the most comfortable shoes you own. You'd be surprised at what footwear you see the Parisian's wearing so don't worry that your feet won't look Paris pretty. 

Earlier in the trip Mr M had spotted a river taxi that toured around the main sights of the city, we had a few hours to kill before we needed to head back to the airport so we settled ourselves down and let the boat do the walking for us. For around 15 euros you can get an all day ticket that you can use as many times as you like at any of the 6 stops on the tour. Definitely a nice alternative to travelling on the metro. 

We whiled away some time lazily rolling past the sights of Paris before having one last wander through the street and shops, falling upon a chocolatier, you know just a small one - Michel Cluizel with chocolate pouring down the wall - literally. 

I have fallen head over heels in love with Paris, so much so our trip back is already booked. Next time we’ll be staying in the 5^th Arr. Right next to the Jardin de Luxembourg. Our hotel for this visit was brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer, cleaner room, a better view or friendlier staff. It was a perfect hotel the only problem we found was the distance from the real centre of Paris. Being in the 15^th Arr. It was a real trek to get anywhere. However if you don’t mind being a little further out I would more than recommend the Val Girard.
