The Seine and the end of my trip to Paris  
   

The Seine and the end of my trip to Paris

The Seine river splits Paris in two, with the Left Bank Rive Gauche sitting to the south of the river, and the Right Bank Rive Droite to the north. The river forks in the centre, creating two small islands, the Ile de la Cite and the ile Saint-Louis. Boats ride a long the Seine, you can take a boat tour, but we didn't. As you can see in the picture, it runs right a long the Notre Dame. One of my fondest memories of Paris is walkin along the Seine one breezy July evening. We had just finished a very good dinner and a little tipsy, we went down to the Seine. People were having parties, the Eifel tower was lit up and we had a nice long walk enjoying our time in one of the most beautiful cities of the world. This is the end of my little virtual trip to Paris. I was only there a short time, but I will never forget the beauty of Paris. I will never forget what it felt like being there. I will never forget hearing my mother tongue spoken by the French. It was really special. My only wish is to return one day with Jacob so that we can both experience Paris as lovers. It is really a romantic city. Paris, I will be back! :-)
Vive Paris! La ville des amoureux! :-)

It was about an 8 hour drive from Oberaudorf and that was okay since we had ... read more
