little delights Paris style

Let's forget the strikes and les politiques and visit some of the little delights of Paris. There's so many and lots are free, or the price of an apéro or a ticket on the Metro.

Being a flâneur - loosely defined as a walker with no particular destination - is free. It's all about the discoveries one makes à pied.

 Off the beaten track one finds a gate open

Or stumbles into an alley of charm

Or walking here along the Seine in the early morning

Or in the Luxembourg Gardens in the afternoon

For the price of a Metro ticket it's always worth 

taking line #6, one of my favorites, for the view. It zips along above and below and ground - big selling points are the apartment windows you can look in and the view of the Eiffel tower as it trundles over the Seine.

And for the price of an apéro,

sit down here.
