Sightseeing around the Ile de la Cité...
Just got back from a morning outing to the Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis. Had a nice walk around, looked at all the shops selling over-priced but nonetheless tempting trinkets. Thankfully most of Paris has packed up for the summer and is on holidays, so most of the shops were closed. Eating places more than enough strain on my wallet!
I walked past lots of beautiful old buildings and marvelled at plaques saying this or that building was the residence of someone important in the 1700s... The history of the place is really amazing... if only it wasn't spoilt by hundreds of Americans running around saying 'OOOh, isn't this quaint!' Oh well, I think maybe I should come back in Winter!
This is certainly one way to dry the washing!
Well it's not Bondi Beach, but... better than nothing!
More sightseeing... The back of Notre-Dame.
