Day 6 Paris

Day 6 Paris - Today is my last day here. Very sad to be going as I have become very fond of this place and the people. A petite side note from Tuesdays blog.

Straight from the plane and even before being allocated my room I saw an old man feeding small birds in his hand at a rather packed Louvre grounds on a glorious...
