Nice walk in Paris
I wanted to go to the Louvre Museum on July 14th but the line quickly got me discouraged then I decided to walk along the Seine in the direction of “Notre-Dame”. I thus continued on Rivoli street to take on the right the banks of the Seine quickly. Regrettably the secondhand booksellers in border of the Seine were not opened (green boxes along the Seine River). I thus have pursued my stroll along the Seine to arrive finally at Notre-Dame Cathedral. There was again the line but it quickly decreased. I thus took the line to enter after 5 minutes only the cathedral of “Notre Dame”. Then I was able to rediscover the beauty of stained glasses and the architecture of the Cathedral. By going out, it was cold a little bit then before returning me towards the Saint Louis Island I made a small stopping place to warm myself in the bar and restaurant Esmeralda.
Having made the tour of the Saint Louis Island, I come back by the road of Notre-Dame to take the RER C at the level of Saint Michel.

To warm my self at the exit of the Cathedral Notre Dame, I went to taste a “sugar crêpe” (very good) with an excellent hot chocolate. The decoration and the area are pleasant; the service is fast with a nice welcome. My only negative remark will be at the level of toilet (to avoid rather).
