Travelog post for: Orpheus

Hi,

This week Sigfrido had to attend a conference in Paris so I went with him . It was fairly boring for a few days as I could never go out and the view from our room wasn’t very exciting .



But today, after a hearty breakfast ...



...we had the chance to walk a bit around the city. Our first stop was the Jardin du Luxembourg from where we could see the Montparnasse Tower...



...and even La Tour Eiffel half hidden between the trees.



Later we walked around the Latin Quarter.






We stopped a bit to play in this park...



...and refreshed ourselves at this fountain.



As we kept walking we reached Notre Dame Cathedral .



We walked a bit along La Seine...



...towards the back of the cathedral from where we could see the spire and the rampant arches.



Later we found all these love-padlocks tied on this bridge ...a fashion imported from Rome I believe.



As we kept walking we reached one of the entrances of the Ecole Polytechnique.



We went on wandering around...



...until it was time to stop and fill the tank .



Our last stop of the day was the back of the Pantheon.



After that it was time for us to go picking up our baggage and heading back to Rouen .
