Discovering Marché Aligre, Paris

Where : Marche d’Aligre.  Paris, France We would like to visit Marche Aligre and could do that after exploring La coulée verte.  Call us lucky but we just made it before the cut off time.  It looks like they celebrate la siesta, so be sure to visit between 9-1pm or 4pm til close.  We recommend you checking the hours online before visiting. It’s a nice place to buy fruits, local products, find some patisseries, cheeses etc.  There’s also a nice Flea market with well priced unique goods, vintage items, pieces of arts and hidden treasures from the past.  As any other place in Paris, there are many restaurants, cafes for a lunch or just a break.  We didn’t stop because

Discovering Pont Alexandre III, Paris

Where : Pont Alexandre III-  Paris – France We just wanted to give a quick shoutout, because we thought it was one of the most beautiful Bridges we saw in Paris and in Europe.  But surely the architect, residents of Paris and the millions of tourists already know that ! After visiting the Eiffel Tower, we walked along the Seine river and stumbled upon the bridge. According to Wikipedia, Pont Alexandre III is one of the most extravagant bridges from Paris and it’s a French Monument historique since 1975 .  We agreed and highly recommend to walk through from either side.  You will get amazing pictures of the many statues on the structure – exuberant Art Nouveau as we remember

Discovering Jardín des Tuileries, Paris

Jardin des Tuileries – Paris – France A beautiful sunny day at Tuileries Garden during spring, The Jardin de Tuileries is a public garden located between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde. We couldn’t have planned it better.  A perfect activity on a sunny day, is to grab some lunch/picnic and found a nice spot on the grass to eat. After fuelling up and relaxing, we made our way north-west through the garden and toward the Arc de Triomphe.  Along the way, we took the advantage of the sunny day to sit and relax around a nice fountain.  It felt great to bask in the sun, we actually both fell asleep ! Alas, the garden is a great

Discovering les Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris

The “Jardin du Luxembourg” is a beautiful place to visit in Paris. According to Wikipedia the gardens were created in 1612 by Marie de’ Medici the widow of King Henry IV of France. We entered the garden at the most southern point, at the “Fontaine de l’Observatoire”.  What was cool about this perspective, is that we were passing through from one end to the other.  At the very extremity was the Palace, where you may recall seeing miniature sail boats in the Medici Fountain.  A really fun activity for the kids ! Furthermore, walking through the garden from south to north, brought a pleasant feeling and sense of labyrinth as we walked down the green rows.  We noticed lots of

Discovering L’île de la Cité, Paris

Ile de la Cité is easily accessible through Notre Dame cathedral or Pont des Arts where you will find the Square du vert-calant and the famous “love-lock”.  You know that famous place where locals and tourists attach a “lock” to make a wish or demonstrate their love forever … or something like that! We first noticed l’île de la Cité on the Bateaux-Mouches tour.  Passing in front, the island gave us this peaceful impression and we instantly wanted to visit.  We saw people sitting on the edge of the concrete basking in the sun and imagined ourselves there.  After a long day of sightseeing around Paris, our opportunity struck and we accepted.  We consider ourselves fortunate for the experience since
