Had a wonderful time exploring Paris with friends.
Saw a puppy riding a Vespa delivering food with his driver. Sweet puppy
Sweet semi protective puppy
If you're planning a trip to Paris we absolutely loved our travel jackets from Global Travel. No problem with being victims of pickpockets and had everything for the day tucked safely away in the interior pockets. All our wallets, snacks, Metro cards, you name it, even a bottle water. Fantastic.
One of the many sites that warmed my heart was the Angel Bear that was erected a few months ago prior to the Summit on Global Warming. It is a reminder that the polar bears are disappearing as a result. What a spectacular piece of modern art that makes a statement. It stands in all its grandeaur outside Gare Du Nord train station. A must see.
I noticed as we were entering the station this morning, 2 hours prior to departure as they said was needed that a homeless person was lying behind Angel Bear. So sad.
There were many many street people panhandling in Paris. Not aggressive just there. We saw a few with dogs and one was feeding his dog his meal he had. I had to give him money after lecturing him the money was for the chin (dog) not him.
Then later I saw this man, not asking for Anything and had no shoes, no coat. Broke my heart.
A tip for those planning a Eurostar trip to Paris. We arrived 2 hours prior to out trains departure as instructed only to discover no one was on duty at 5:00 am to check us in as they don't start work until 6:05 am. Live and learn. Also remember to fill out your customs cards for UK if you aren't a citizen of EU as you need them to board the train. Who knew. Glad my husband was vigilant and noticed.
