Paris Two

Another day in my favourite city, but much of it spent on either buses or the metro. The Paris traffic is horrendous - look at the photo on les Champs Élysées. You take your life in your hands when crossing the street and I would hate to drive here. Motorists chop and change lanes with absolutely no warning and the parking has to be seen to be believed!!
Daniele and I spent a couple of hours in the lovely Rodin museum and we also went to see Sainte Chapelle on L'Ile de la Cite, but the queue was so long that we decided not to wait. Tonight we went to a photographic exhibition by her nephew Bruno Serralongue, who is making a name for himself covering conflict in developing nations. Afterwards we went into the newer area in East Paris, including the very modern National Library, culminating in a very nice meal in the Bercy Village. It was really buzzing with interesting restaurants being built in an area which was originally old wine cellars.Paris really does exude atmosphere. The architecture is lovely, the French people stylish and the metro is much cleaner than I remember.
