After sitting in my apartment and letting it all sink in, I decided to go for a stroll around the neighborhood.My apartment is at 16 Ave Bosquet. Google it. It's a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower, just across the river from Champs Élysées and a quick metro ride away from the Louvre, Notre Dame and Montmartre... It's fantastic!
It was a beautiful day, high 50s, sun shining, I walked over to the Eiffel Tower through the park to École Militaire...down the cobblestone streets and then found a small bakery filled of croissants, lasagnas, scones and several varieties of quiches - which I had to try! Note: best quiche everrrr! Oh Paris, why can't San Diego have such fantastic food?
From here I strolled a bit more in the direction of my apartment.. Walking down the street I noticed the most beautiful building... As I got closer, I began to realize that I recognized the it from a photo I had once seen a few week prior! It had the most beautifully architected doorway I have ever seen! So naturally, I took a thousand pictures of it, stared at it for a while then carried on my way in complete awe and delight of my finding within the first few hours of being in Paris!
I soon found a little cafe nearby where I sat, people-watched with a glass of wine in hand. I noticed that at every restaurant and cafe, all the chairs are pointed toward the street and everyone sits beside each other looking out the street... A city made for people watching, I believe.
Since I arrived fairly late, by this time it was beginning to get dark. I found a nearby wine store, picked up a bottle for the road, per see, and headed back to the apartment for several glasses before falling asleep!
