I am in Paris. I arrived yesterday and only have one more full day before departing Tuesday. I have been teaching in Montpellier in southern France for the past week and before I headed home I wanted to pop into Paris for a few days. I am staying on rue Cler (see photo) which is a great pedestrian street absolutely full of fromaggerie's, butchers, vin and pain shoppes and other sidewalk cafes. A great slice of Paris couched just outside the business district in the 7th arrondissment and around the corner by 10 minutes from Ecole Militaire metro stop and the Eiffel Tower. Did I say it was a great location? Today I spent time at the Versailles palace. I met a man from Montreal on the metro who was also headed there so we made the trip together. After 3 hrs at the palace, I headed to Notre Dame in the cld city. Tomorrow - the Louvre and Champs Elysees are on the itinerary. No need to rush. I will be back in mid April so what I miss on this trip I can check out in April.
