I just love all the crazy names that what3words assigns to individual latitude and longitude coordinates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

blaring.beans.moment = famous French museum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, we woke up to pouring rain this morning & decided that it would be a good idea to spend some time in an interesting museum. Catherine suggested that we go to the Mus\u00e9e Carnavalet which was a short subway ride away & also not far from Notre Dame Cathedral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This museum is dedicated to the history of the City of Paris from Roman times up to the 20th century. There is no admission fee to the museum (Scottish bonus!) & it has dozens of fascinating & interesting displays. A person could easily spend a full day in this place & there would still be lots more to see on another visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the metal work signs were a favourite of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately the courtyards & outside cafe were closed on this day – another reason for a return visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this door that was preserved from a local building. I think it would be effective at keeping door-to-door salesmen away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our next stop was to see: pitchers.visitor.risky <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of activity still going on there & lots of people watching all the action. Fortunately for us the rain was letting up so we had a good look around & then found a dry place to sit down & have some more “refreshments”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our last stop for the day was to show Valerie & David one of Emily’s favourite places – across the river from the cathedral with the hotel’s tiny upper floor windows offering a clear view of Notre Dame. She will be staying here again in a few weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure if Emily would approve of the what3words address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time we got back to our hotel the rain had completely stopped for the day. Another brief rest & then another very nice meal at a local restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow we plan to visit some more of the “must sees of Paris” including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
