How busy does The Louvre get? This isn’t even peak time

Day 2 of the #honeymoon was great.

We headed into Paris and had a French-style breakfast in the shadow of the Notre-Dame. That is a 🥐 and pain-au-chocolat, with 🍊 juice and hot chocolate.

Then we walked around the cathedral, but not the bell-towers, that needs to be booked in advance, so maybe later in the week we’ll go back.

We then went to Saint-Chapelle, a beautiful little chapel located near Palais du Justice, the glass work was stunning.

We had a simple homemade baguette for dinner at the hotel and a little rest before heading out again in the evening to the Musée d’Orsay.

What a museum! Loved the bronze and stone statues, also some great Van Gogh paintings to boot.

All in all a good day. ❤️

The top was closed 😲

Musée d’Orsay was lovely. Some great art in there. #honeymoon

Been enjoying how easy it’s been using my @monzo card in 🇫🇷

There’s a lot of breasts and balls on show at the Musée d’Orsay

Carrying a baguette on the Mètro did make me feel a little French

Breakfast in the shadow of the Notre-Dame #honeymoon

Yesterday was tiring. We travelled to Paris by plane, then got a taxi to the hotel.

It was shared with another couple, they got dropped off first, their hotel was near the Moulin Rouge. Given how famous it is you’d think it’d be in a nicer part of Paris!

I actually really liked the taxi journey, got an interesting perspective of the local Paris, including some homeless people near Aubervilliers.

It felt much older/narrower than London does, but just as big!

Notre-Dame awaits today…
