We have arrived in Paris for the beginning of our 5 week trip! This will be a quick post because we are both very tired from the trip. Our first act was to get crêpes from a café around the corner from our apartment.

After dropping off our bags, we went for a walk around the Latin Quarter near our apartment. This is Fontaine Saint-Michel.
Just a couple minutes from our apartment is the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Despite its humble appearance, there is a plaque beside this tree that says it's the oldest tree in Paris, planted in 1601.
Lots of bridges over the river are covered in locks placed there by couples.
We bought tickets for the Batobus river boat which stops at several main sites along the Seine. We got off at the Eiffel Tower. By this point it started raining, so the rest of our walk was a little wet.
This is Pont Alexandre III.
A little local advertising humour.
Musée d'Orsay, located in the former railway station Gare d'Orsay. We plan to go inside the museum tomorrow.
The night life in the Latin Quarter is a lot more vibrant than other parts of town.
Tomorrow we plan to visit some museums since it will probably be raining most of the day.
