Day 10 – Saturday, September 4th – Bye Bye to Paris
The Last Hurrah
We had planned to go to Montmartre, which we missed last
time we were in Paris, but we were wilted little posies by this time, and gave Montmartre
a pass – Rats!
(And speaking of rats, the trip is now complete because Jane
actually SAW a rat, which was – believe you me – the highlight of her trip.)
So we fed a few more birds and walked around Les Halles where we had wine and stinky cheese for lunch.
We tried to find the flea market near St. Eustache that we found on our earlier trip. No luck with that, but we did find an area of nice gardens around a big shopping area, the name of which escapes me. They had a fountain which the birds found perfect for an afternoon splash.
On an earlier walk to the 14th A we found a
hardware store where we bought a lock to place on the Pont des Arts,
representing our sisterly affection into posterity – or until the bridge police
remove locks again, whichever comes first.
So we took ourselves back to the Pont and affixed our lock amid the
rest.
On the way back to the hotel, we made a last trip back to
the Louvre where Chris found some beautiful religious ceramic pieces that
captured her eye.
After
packing, we had a mediocre dinner in St. Michelle and waved a weary bye bye to
Paris as we headed to the airport. We absolutely
wore our little selves out having a grand time in the beautiful city of lights!

What’s with the fish?
These fish are freakin’ EVERYwhere in Paris. What’s up with that? Does anyone know?
