Paris By Myself

The reason we visited Paris was that Eddy was attending a conference.  That means I was lucky enough to get loads of time in Paris by myself.  It was basically heaven.

In summary, I drank so much chocolat chaud à l'ancienne.

I also just sort of wandered around and saw whatever I felt like seeing.

All day.

Can I just say, I love the Louvre, but the best thing there? Clearly the hot chocolate.

I also checked out the Paris Aquarium.

It's right by the Eiffel Tower.

What? The Ocean? Oui, l'Ocean!

I also did a fair amount of this type of thing.  (MACARONS!)

Also so many museums and libraries. The Musée de Cluny had this cute signage around all of their restoration construction.

Also I went to the BnF and saw some incredible exhibits.

I visited Sainte Chapelle because it's just my favorite little place.

And I went to the antique shops!

There was some weird stuff there.

Some amazing weird stuff. I had the opportunity to purchase an original oil painting of a sad clown flipping off the viewer and I didn't buy it. I'll have to live with myself now.  Knowing.  That I didn't buy that painting.  Le sigh.
