In the three years we have been in France we realised that we hadn’t been to Paris – except to change trains. So it was time to put that right with a weekend away.
We were staying near Parc André Citroën in the 15eme. Having just been reading up about Gustave Eiffel I was surprised to see his most-famous creation in the park.
On closer inspection it was a very accurate replica made of bamboo canes.
So we sought out the real one before going to see how Notre Dame is looking.
There were big queues to see inside so we made do with a look around outside.
Before we left we checked in on Gustave’s other famous creation.
It was nice to revisit some old haunts and see how the neighbourhood had changed since our last visit.
