T Stands For the long walk

 Hi everyone, what week, both my DIL and son now have COVID, not surprising really, they are both getting better now though. 

I'm here for T Stands For Tuesday, hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth at the Altered Book Lover blog so we are going back to the Sunday of our sweet treat (events overtook me last week and I had no time to blog or comment)

 

We called to a crêperie on the way back to the hotel and ordered a vegetable galette each along with cider and a jug of water. It looks large but it was so light and crispy and full of lots of veg.

After our time in Parc Monceau and the walks past some lovely buildings we came to the Elysee Palace

I wanted to know if we were in the right place to reach Place Vendôme and as there were so many policemen around I asked one, who decided to test his English on me, so we had a dual language chat, with me practicing my French and he his English.

Hubby had walked on ahead and was waiting for around 15 minutes(he says)and took a couple of photos. As we can't see the policeman's face I can show this

I don't know at what point in the conversation this was but we covered a range of topics from parks of Paris, through football, places to visit in England, food and the city he came from which was one we had visited a few years ago. 

He sent me on my way with directions and a big smile!

His older colleague stood back grinning as we both struggled to find words.

The route took us along past some very expensive shops.

This couple were making their way to the Ritz

We started the walk back to the hotel...past more famous landmarks

This is the Arc du Triomphe du Carousel

The Louvre area - of course

Thinking of Lisca here

A Scottish pub!

We still had a way to walk after this so no more photos we were getting hungry! 

Sorry this a bit rushed, it's been another busy day.

Hopefully next week I will take it bit more leisurely, looking at a little visited area of Paris, but so beautiful! 

Thanks for looking, Chris
