We ended the day with one last walk starting from the Pont Neuf. This is a bridge next to the Louvre that has a lot of vendors selling souvenirs, but some nice things too....this was Joe's least favorite part of the walk. The bridge takes you from the right bank (Louvre) to the left bank (Latin Quarter area). We really liked the Latin Quarter....lots of shops and restaurants....a fun area to walk around. We had one of our best lunches the other day in this area at a little cafe that didn't have the best atmosphere, but a delicious sandwich. It is next door to a famous bakery (Poulaine Bakery), which is how we found it.
Anyway, back to our walk. We walked from the Pont Neuf (on the Louvre side) down the Seine for a little bit and then crossed over to the Jardin de Tulleries (beautiful garden area near the Louvre....see tulip photos). This area reminds me so much of the mall in DC. It lines up with the Champs and reminds me of the area between the Lincoln and Washington monuments.
