Well it’s June, and I’m finally finding time to write about Paris, which I visited a month ago. I was expecting to be blown away by Paris, but I left there kind of unimpressed.

Lots of good food shops on Rue Cler, as well as a great Sunday (food) market. Don't miss the smelly smelly cheese shop! My enduring lerv for Paris continues - next time, one month. To be fair though - Cinque Terre, Italy was our fav spot for this trip overall. ;-)

Love the commentary and photos
I am going to Paris in October with family and friends to celebrate my birthday. I really enjoyed your commentary and photos. Can you share with me where you stayed. The hotel room view you got for Clare is phenominal!Lucky girl! We were going to stay in the Marais district also but opted for the Hotel Muguet near the Eiffel Tower (for the views).

Paris is amazing no? While true there is a Mc Donalds on the Champs de Eleysee you can have a glass of wine with your Big Mac! Your tower view was much better than the one our hotel. For ten euros a night extra we could see the tip of the tower if you weren't afraid to lean out the window and crick your neck 90 degrees or so.
