Paris Paris - Spring/Summer 2015

Across another tree-lined street to the banks of the Seine -








And we promenade along the Seine and simply enjoyed the various scenes -

When we saw these loungers, we rested for a few minutes....






.......before going up the stairs to cross Pont Alexandre -

one of the many details of Pont Alexandre​

dome of Invalides as seen from Pont Alexandre​

A quick stop at Petit Palais -

the sculpture of Adam, Eve and the slain Abel
with the painting of Christ's resurrection on the wall​

a painting of Les Halles in the 1800s​

And continued on to Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Place de la Concorde -




And Jardin des Tuileries.......










By this time the legs were rather tired but we continued on pass the Pyramide du Louvre, Hotel de Ville, the Marais and to home. The 20-minute ride on the metro turned into a four-hour walk home.

But we did manage to stop in two Jewish bakeries for these -


Cheesecakes, chocolate cake, baklava, apple strudel, and a poppy seed/apple cake

And no, we didn't eat all of them that night. ​

In front of Natre Dame is a big tent for the 20th La Fête du Pain: lots of bakers including some children, prep space, ovens, racks and then all the finished goodies that everyone can buy -

I'm loving this trip report! Your photos are so pretty--Paris in bloom is gorgeous. But I think Paris "any way I can get her" is beautiful We've only been in Paris in the Spring (3xs). We were there in 2012 and happened upon the Fete du Pain and really enjoyed watching the chefs at work. The bread is absolutely the best! We'll be there in October and I'm excited to see a different face of my favorite city.

I don't know why but many of the image links no longer work in these posts. Too bad!! I am removing the links so we don't have bad links in this thread.

I think that I fixed all the photo links, etc.

All fixed and the photos are great!
