Day 21 Sunny Sunday on the Seine.

Winter in Europe never looked better than perfect blue sky, bright sunshine and 11 degrees on a Sunday afternoon in Paris.

Not surprisingly we walked and walked and walked and walked, about 24kms in all.

 

This is not our first time in Paris but it is impossible to not fall in love with the city all over again where lovers kissed , young boys played soccer in the park ,jazz bands played, men played chess , joggers jogged, roller bladers glided

and where tourists and locals enjoyed a late Sunday afternoon stroll along the Seine.

If that was not perfect enough, we ended the day with a visit to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in the 19^th arrondissement. This hilly, 25 hectare park provided us with a wonderful place to watch kids on bikes and trikes, to walk by an amazing lake, to view Sacre Coeur from a distance, to see the lights sparkle on the Eiffel Tower and  to watch the sun set over Paris.

Paris, je t’aime.
