Another perfect spring day in Paris - have just returned from exploring a little more of this delightful city. We walked down the Seine to visit the Eiffel Tower and on the way we got distracted at a local market…..what can we say - incredible seafood, cheeses, breads, fruits, vegetables, crepes, meats, foie gras, pastries, tarts, yoghurts and so it goes!!! Luckily we had a backpack which we filled up with chevre, lemons, bread rolls, foie gras, melon, mandarins, and custard tarts. Then we stopped for the most amazing crepes at a little stall which we washed down with an apple cider. It was fantastic!!

From there we headed to the Museum of Modern Art and the Eiffel Tower. We didn't go up the tower as the queues stretched for hundreds of metres and we had more exploring to do!! It is a magnificent piece of architecture and engineering - and so crowded with tourists and touts!

This is our last night in Paris - so we'll pop out to enjoy more local cuisines and get prepared for travelling to St Andrews, Scotland to meet up with our beautiful Colin and Juli for a few days.
