We found a cheap supermarket right by our hotel. It was like a discount place, and everything was wayyyyy cheaper than anything we'd seen the day before. It was probably the best find we could have made. We stocked up on snacks and nutella and bread and headed out to get to the start of our "historical walk".
We started around the the Hotel de Ville (I think that's how you spell it)
There was a beautiful carousel there in front!
There was also a free exhibition there, so we hopped in quickly to have a look. It was photography, so very interesting. It felt like Paris, and yes I know that is a cheesy thing to say but that's what it was like. Older photos, and atmospheric ones that made me get into the mood for walking around. Here is where it was:
So we started a bit late, but that was okay. I was feeling French hehehe
Paris is a fantastic place to take photos!!
Now the real start of the tour was the Notre Dame.
I liked the lights quite a bit...
Fox started listening to one of the sermon things. It was free for us to go in, but I have no idea what the guy was saying!
I was getting weird looks from people sometimes because FOX was in my front pocket like this:
there were some nice candles:
Look at this door! It's bloody massive!!
Walking around the side was also quite nice :)
although I think the back was actually the most interesting photo-wise:
The walk took us to a lovely little island thing..
Erin was amused by the signs for boat traffic!
There were many skinny roads and nice little stores all around this area:
Another massive door:
We found this candy store here, and bought some of the best lollipops I've had in ages. They were sooooo good!
Some houses were starting to tilt...
others not at all
We found a Canadian themed bar! It had awesome door handles!!!
They had doughnuts woooo
We made it alllll they way to this monument. which is A LOT of walking!
We thought about going into here, but the lineup was massive and it cost a lot of money
Erin was the leader of this walk, since I can get lost in my own backyard. You can see she was serious with her papers and map and history about the places we were going :p Tour Guide Erin! It was excellent!
I was goofing around with FOX for quite a while, and got some hilarious looks from old people hahahahahaha
We came across a nice courtyard and decided to have a break! We were walking a lot and eating nutella. It was time for a little rest!
This was under construction, but still looked okay. I guess
Very elaborate and massive organ!
So after this we went walking to Luxembourg gardens, but there are loads more photos to come so I will cut this off here. It seems we did half of Paris in one day!!
