The City Of Love, Tourists & Riots!

Kilometres Walked : Thursday – 10.2, Friday – 8.2.

Saturday Morning 1st July, 2023.

Hello again Paris. The city of love as it is affectionately known. But don’t forget the thousands of tourists and the nightly riots. Most of all don’t forget the absolutely amazing architecture, the history, the macarons, crazy fashion, cafes and delectable food. Yes we are back in Paris after 4 years.

Our last day in Dijon was spent discovering the beautiful Botanical Gardens where once again we discovered many ideas for our own garden. Roses are definitely on my list of plants to try and grow once we are home. Never before have I planted a Rose but have grown very fond of them after spending the last three months here in Europe. The herb, vegetable and fruit tree garden was completely amazing as well. Who knew artichoke plants were so beautiful!

We are so growing these, I just have to learn how to cook them!

So many bees🐝

After once again squeezing our belongings back into our bags, oh hang on we had to purchase another suitcase, we had a evening stroll to see the lights around the city. What a beautiful place Dijon is.

One of many churches.
Still a busy dinner crowd.
The Palace.
So cute.

Arriving Friday morning into Paris we successfully navigated the metro to our lovely little apartment that we have for 10 days in the Montmartre area. Feeling a little weary from an early start and travelling we just had a nice meander around the surrounding area just so we could familiarise ourselves with how busy the place is once again and find our two favourite op shops which are surprisingly still here and still reasonably priced!

The busiest area of Montmartre.
Cafes galore.
Fantastic people watching.
So French!
My favourite, shutters and flower boxes.
The famous ‘Le Maison Rose’.

After a peaceful lazy Saturday morning, we will head out to explore some more and try to up the Kilometres!
