Changing the View!

You may have followed my adventures in Maine, first in solo, then with my children and their cat…. We are now en route for new ones!

We all moved to Paris, France. Known as the most romantic city, it is for sure a big one, where I can cross as many people in one day as I could in a year in Maine!

My main discovery is the bike world: bike lines everywhere, separated and protected from the main road, crossings with bike-specific-traffic lights, special Sundays closed to cars, people going everywhere with bikes, holding their helmet in restaurant, and being late because of traffic jams… but discovering Paris while going to work instead of Metro-ing to commute is a luxury that I didn’t expect. My first route from home to work was passing by Montmartre, la Concorde, l’Opéra, Le Louvre, before reaching my office, with a view… and going home biking along the Seine before passing by Notre Dame, and la Bastille … if only the sirens of emergency and police cars would not be so loud!
