Today was walking around, getting our bearings, enjoying a light lunch at a brasserie, taking in the sights and exhaling into Paris!! We found a fun flea market with lots of unique items for sale and a Love Locks Bridge where we hung a lock! We walked around the courtyard of the Louvre, stumbled upon the Grand and Petite Palaces, went for a ride on the Roue de Paris, had our first parisian crepes and I tried roasted chestnuts (yuck!) for the first time!!
