“A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty and in the point of life”
― Thomas Jefferson
We wanted to see and do everything and eat as much as possible but we also wanted to have plenty of time just to wander, stroll and enjoy in the city.
Going from the Eiffel tower to Île de la Cité was our first walk together in the city and although is a long walk, it was the perfect welcome to city because we were walking together in Paris: the romance capital of the world. We started our trip in the epicenter of Paris, in the isle where the city was started. We went to Notre-Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle, which has the finest stained glass my eyes have ever seen. This tour was not complete without an ice cream at Berthillon and our first dossis of cheese and wine at Cafe Saint Régis at Île Saint-Louis.
We loved Saint-Germain-de-Prés! Is a neighborhood blessed with energy and the atmosphere of the university district. As a center of bookstores, churches and historic cafes it was impossible to be disappointed. We strolled at the Luxembourg gardens and found chairs near the main fountain and lounged in the sun. And of course as Hemingway and Picasso did, we went to "Deux Magots" and enjoyed some drinks at the terrace on a sunny day. We were so in love that we came back to Café de Flore.
