You are in luck. Packing up. Leaving Paris early Sunday and don’t get in until Monday midday. You get a couple of days off. : )

On my walk to Montmarte. I’m trying not to bore you with all of the exquisite bakery windows and neighborhood bookstores/libraries. One after the other! It is very hard for me not to take some photos.

On my walk from Montmartre. Destination, Galeries Lafayette and Arc de Triomphe. Ok, in case anyone is paying attention, I told you a few days ago that the Arc de Triomphe was under construction. Well, it dawned on me after my post—the Arc de Triomphe is not at/near the Louvre/Tuileries (which is where I was for those pictures). 🤦‍♀️ The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (and the carrousel) is under construction. The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is/was originally intended as a monumental entrance to the Tuileries palace.

The Arc de Triomphe is not under construction. Photo here for everyone’s viewing pleasure; although today wasn’t a sunny day. Photo taken from the Avenue des Champs-Elysees.

Great day. Great ending to my time in Paris. Entirely on foot. I think I walked through seven arrondissements—4, 3, 10, 18, 9, 8 and 1, respectively. All on the right bank—Rive Droite today. And I did get caught in a huge downpour on my way back to the apartment. At least I was on my way back to the apartment!

Next stop Tbilisi. Can’t wait to see Mike! Miss everyone.
