Le marché aux oiseaux

Today we return to Île de la Cité to visit the Sunday Bird Market. If you're visiting Paris with children, put this on your list. Of course there are colorful birds, but rabbits, guinea pigs and gerbils. It's worth a stroll through. 

Here's the church, here's the steeple

In 2013,  la Sainte Chapelle, one of the most beautiful chapels in Paris was having a little work done.

Place Dauphine

We have King Henri IV to thank for this pretty little place, constructed in 1607.  Located just off the Pont Neuf on Île de la Cité, it is a quiet little spot which I have found almost empty whenever I've walked passed.

Place Dauphine

Located on Île de la Cité, Place Dauphine is an historical and lovely spot.


And we have a winner from yesterday's What Is It? Where Is It?
Kim from Seattle Daily Photo, and L'eoprnn were the first to correctly name the dome of the Sacre Coèur and what it was.  Thank you all for entering and now when you're in Paris, you MUST climb the endless stepsn to the dome. If I can do it twice, you can too. 

Le Reminet

Mes amis we are happily back in Paris today. I had a really nice lunch here at le Reminet last summer with American (living in Paris) photographer Meredith Mullins. This restaurant, located on île de la Cité, just a stroll across the bridge from Notre Dame, is one of Meredith's favorites. I rarely take photos in restaurants but this one was too charming to pass up. Déjeuner était délicieux!
