At the end of our week in Paris, April 2016, our goal was to visit the Sacré Coeur. We were on the bus heading towards this location when the bus suddenly pulled over and told us to get off. There was a marathon taking place, streets sectioned off, so getting there was no longer an option. Instead we wandered around.
I love a good wander. With vacations it's so easy to get locked in a schedule, unwilling to bend. Depending on the advice of others and web searches. But somethings worth finding are meant to be discovered in the moment. Walking around allowed us this discovery. We found ourselves in a shopping area where Patou's extended family owned a Jewish bakery. There we ate yummy treats. Along the way we passed entertainment, good street jazz, more sweets, and more shopping.
This breather was nice. Walking around, taking things in, experiencing an April shower or two. Really be in the moment.
This was one of my favorite days on the trip.
Next we walked to Notre-Dame de Paris, but that's for next time. ;0)
