A 14 hour day of walking, in the streets of Paris, is a great way to get into the time zone. We started off with the all important "petit dejeuner" of cafe au lait and croissant. It was reaaaal gooood (I think only made of butter). The Pere Lachaise cemetary was filled with history and tourists, a very worthwhile visit.
Lunch at Buddha Bar, and more walking Place du Concorde, Jardins de Tuleries, Louvres, Pont Neuf (Bourne Identity memory), Ile de la Cite, Eglise Notre Dame, Ile St Louis and a fitting end with a beer on the square near Pompidou plaza watching people play the harmonica and walk by (Marais District, 4eme Arrondissement).
Thru all this nothing short of stunning architecture, monuments and fabulous sights. Love the people using their parks and having heated conversations in the coffee bars. Worth a mention are the variety of smells one encounters such as sweat, cologne, bakeries, and unfortunately refuse...
