Luxembourg Gardens Picnic

Our second day in Paris took us to Sacre Couer in the morning, and to Luxembourg Gardens for our picnic in the afternoon. In between those two spots, we stopped by a Montmarte boulangerie to pick up a baguette (.90) and some cheese (2 euro). We also brought a couple apples which we had purchased the night before during our hour long quest to find our hotel.

We jumped onto the metro and were at the gardens in a flash. We found a spot with a good view and set up shop.

For lunch-- bread, cheese, and apples. Sometimes all at the same time!

With views of the Eiffel tower in the distance, we chatted about our thoughts on Paris, while another couple picnicked cosily on blanket nearby.

The pigeons in the park must have known our picnic was ending because they started to close in on us. We packed up and headed to Notre Dame.

It was quite a lovely experience--- and delicious!
