We spent our first day in Paris doing a walking tour of the left bank. Our guide was Marie, an Estonian lady who took us around for the better part of 4 and a half hours. I really like walking tours I've decided. The photo on the left is taken on the right bank looking up towards Il de Citie.
We had lunch in on of the little alley ways left over from medieval times. Most of them have been replaced with the larger streets we tend to know as Paris in the ninteenth century by Hausman. This one houses a coffee shop frequented by Napoloen and the place where the guilotine was developed. They did guilotine executions right up to 1981.
Day 2 we spent with the Koetsiers in their fantastic unit. It was Easter Sunday and Fiona and Peter laid on a feast for us. We well and truly overstayed our welcome and drank the cupboards bare. It was great to see them. We had a loud lovely time and headed home in a cab well after midnight.
