We arrived in Paris about 12:15 and made it to the hotel by 1:00. After checking in, we had lunch in the shadow of Notre Dame and then took the metro to the Canal St. Martin area. This was a really pretty area with lots of iron bridges over the canal, and it was in fact a working canal. This was also the area of some of the terrorist attacks, and we saw the makeshift memorial at Place de la Republique.
We then came back to our hotel and did the left bank walk, the highlights of which were St. Sulpice church and Luxumbourg Gardens. The church was amazing, and the gardens were in full bloom.
We finished the night with dinner at the restaurant recommended by our host in Avignon (excellent), and the walked back to the hotel past Notre Dame.
Well, that's all for now.
