Early Morning Walks by CALSF
Taking a walk anywhere in Paris is loaded with memories. But you should wake up early at least once and take a walk through your neighborhood. Last December w got up quite early (around 6 a.m.) and we headed out the door by 7 a.m. We were staying on the Ile St. Louis so we got to see the Seine at one of its calmest moments of the day without the crowds. As it was wintertime it was very cold so we were bundled up which added to the ambience. There were a few locals walking their dogs. The cafe owners were beginning to set up for the breakfast crowds later. Nothing is as wonderful as standing on Pont St. Louis and reflect on Notre Dame directly in front and the Seine below. Also a 'Bonjour' in passing from a local made us feel as though we belonged.
