We loved wandering through the 6th arrondissement, the Saint Germain-des-Pres district - historically the home of intellectuals, thinkers and cafe going cats as it turns out.
Before entering the beautiful Jardin des Luxembourg we stumbled upon a fascinating open air exhibition of wildlife photography.
Elijah writes - The pictures were amazingly wonderful and beautiful and striking.I really liked how it told you what animals and plants they were... for example a lemur, a bee and a dandelion... and where they live, for example this lemur lives in Madagascar and this bee lives in Europe. It was hard to believe that this frog is not poisonous with all its very bright colours that are soooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful.
The sun was shining on the Jardin des Luxembourg and we were enchanted.
Once Marie de' Medici's Luxembourg Palace, now home to the French senate. Thank you Marie de' Medici for commissioning this magnificent garden and the Luxembourg Palace back in 1611. Did it remind you of Florence? Could you have imagined the world of children and adults who would enjoy it for centuries to come?
Hamish writes - Ahh the boats - my favourite part of the journey.
It's a wonderful feeling watching them sail along the pond.
Crepes for lunch were delicious!!!!
It was an Autumn canvas at Parc Monceau...
...And yes Isaac, football really does bring people together.
Elijah found a way around the language barrier to make friends who spoke his language and shared his first love. We now have our very own French football to compliment the PSG jersey... and a way to let off steam and keep up the all important football skills...
On the paths, not the grass!!
When it comes to Christmas lights, a picture speaks 1000 words...
