Paris – Last Day

Friday was our last full day in Paris and we decided to keep it a little simpler, not so busy and make sure we took the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds before heading off to the south of France. After a delicious leisurely breakfast we headed off to check out the bus route to Gare de Lyon and attempt to figure out the mayhem of this major Paris train station. Gare de Lyon is the main train station for connections to the south of France, so it’s hectic. Once back in the Latin Quarter we rewarded ourselves with a cafe au lait and sat and watched Paris go by. From there we did a little window shopping (lecher le vitrine) and picked up a few trinkets. In the afternoon we headed off by metro (underground train) to the Eiffel Tower stop so we could get on a Seine River Boat Cruise. It was a good way to get more information and a completely different view of Paris. It was a spectacular day so there were lots of people on the banks of the Seine enjoying the weather. Tomorrow we are off to Arles.
