Although
it’s only in mid October, the air was chilly; when we drove off from the
highway into the street...so quiet in the dark, everyone was in their sweet
dreams right now (it was not totally true when I was discovered something
later ).
Sparkling
of traffic lamps, red & green, here & there; decorated by scattered
yellowish spots from shops or cars...”Midnight in Paris “ was the film in my
head. Wherever our car stopped, I kept staring to the far end of alley or the
street corner, wondering if that mysterious car or person of 1920s would
appeared in front of me......I love this city instantly, in my twilight zone!
Cary
was so nice that she drove me through Cour carrée of The Louvre for a quick glance before arriving hotel...I’d
loved to treat it as my first gift received in Paris, merci.
Truly
speaking, I did or at least should feel tired, and the checked in time was
1400, as scheduled, I had to stay outside for 5 hours, but...I did received my
second gift, early checked in at 1100, hurray!
How
about the third gift? I shared with you already Pont Neuf...fresh air ,breeze from the
Seine; warmth by the beautiful sun & rich aroma of my double espresso, be
my guest :)
I
chose Pont Neuf (1e : Les Halles) to stay because of it’s walk-able distance to
most of my favorite spots, to collect my museum pass from the Office de
Tourisme de Paris, I’ve already in the next arrondissement
4e : Le Marais. Metro, bus or cycling could bring you anywhere, but I preferred
walking, because Paris is one of the most beautiful & delicate city that
worth to take my time to explore in detail.
Walking
along the Seine was always amazing , seeing family & friends gathered for a
Sunday picnic, someone relaxing in the moment of his/ her own; photographers,
professional or amateur? who cares......tourist, of course, like me slowing
down our momentum to receive the sun bath, absolutely free!
Dark
fell quickly after twilight, to Parisian, it’s just the beginning of another
happy hour. But I needed a rest ......now in my cosy room with my late night
coffee at 2310, jazz music flowing in the air......
