We are sooo\u00a0lucky to be back in Paris again…. even early morning drizzle, busy streets etc, (Yes….another purchase of a another beret hat and umbrella to keep dry with) \u00a0do not dampen\u00a0our spirits for this beautiful city. Even after we walk at least 10km a day and start to get a bit niggly, it is still romantic. We stayed in a cute little boutique hotel, Le Petit Belloy, in the arty and caf\u00e9 area of St Germain. Thank you Diane for this recommendation. Perfect !!<\/p>\n

Paris cafes are possibly the most well-known image of the City of Light. The Paris Cafe is more than a place to sip coffee. It is an institution in Paris, it is a magnet for tourists, it is a cultural phenomenon. No trip to Paris is complete without a relaxing, long sit with some fascinating people-watching at a Paris cafe.<\/p>\n

We also visited Montmartre again, a neighbourhood located at the summit of Paris, it is one of the city’s most poetry-drenched spots. The narrow, steep, cobblestone-paved streets, stairways, hidden gardens, cemeteries, and vineyards show that Montmartre was, until recently, a village in its own right, tucked away from the city. Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, and countless other artists and writers worked their magic here. It is now an artist’s haven.<\/p>\n

We will be sad to leave Paris !!! Although, in a petit way, Hobart comes close.<\/p>\n
