Walking in Paris

Day 4:

This day we walked. Boy did we walk. Pretty much the entire Seine. We walked the quais and it was pretty fantastic. Nothing but great views and lovely scenery. If I could, I'd live right here:


It was nice, quiet, and right on the river....and not to far from Le Marais. Yeah, yeah I know. I've already mentioned the Marais, but it's just so damn cool! We stopped there for a coffee at this cute place called Le Grizzli. LOTS of drinks to choose from and spot on decor.



A cool mix of modern and classic with the coolest chandelier made from desk lamps.


After coffee we went to the department store BHV. I wasn't looking forward to checking out a department store but I'm glad Bronwyn convinced me. It was Ikea meets Home Depot meets Pearle meets Best Buy meets Macys. Need to find one place to buy lipstick, paint supplies, a wii, and an indoor sauna? They got your back. It was pretty amazing. I don't know how much time I spent just looking at knobs. This wonderful endless wall of knobs.


Like a crack baby to a pipe.

We continued on the quais tour (The Alexander III bridge will never be given justice in pictures) and stumbled upon a protest. A long row of people in tents tied together and held down with rocks protesting the homeless problem in Paris.


After our brief exposure to french street politics we marched on to le Palais du Tokyo - One of the smaller modern art museums in Paris. With an exhibit on sustainable design (i got to sit in a tesla!), a cafe with a DJ, and a fascinating book store this is definitely a place i'd return to often if I lived here.


This museum is chill, rad, and open until midnight. You gotta love it. And although I wanted to stay all night we headed to home to down a bottle of wine and give our feet a break.
