The weather in Paris was beautiful for most of last week, so one morning, as the city was coming to life, I got up early and took a nice long walk before work. I'm still amazed by all the history and beauty that are so close to our new home.

| I saw this fountain in a small park near our apartment |
 |
| I walked through this unusual courtyard near the Louvre |
 |
| A tribute to the great French playwright, Molière . (There is some Invader street art on the left.) |
 |
| This tailor shop had antique sewing machines lined up in the front window. |
 |
| The flowers at this boutique de fleuriste had just gotten nice long drinks. |
 |
| A fruit and vegetable stand, getting ready for a busy Spring day. |
 |
| I walked past the entrance to the Banque de France. |
And then, as I was strolling by a construction area, I happened to glance to my left and I saw this:
 |
| What is that amazing looking building in the distance? I had to go check it out. |
I'm not going to lie, as I got closer my breath caught in my throat and my eyes teared up a little. (I umm... must have been allergic to something... yeah... I wasn't crying... it was just allergies.)
I can't wait to take more walks, as Spring turns to Summer!
