Promenade #9: Follow the Money

Bonjour tout le monde!
May 24, 2016
Today I was able to do walk number nine, one that I really enjoyed and it was also on the shorter side. This walk started right outside the Louvre, and we went into the Louvre des Antiquaires, the finest and most expensive antique shop in Paris.

After we walked past the Comédie-Française and the Conseil d’Etat to go into the Jardin du Palais Royal. This garden was very nice and peaceful, and completely hidden from view. I love how Paris has so many hidden aspects that seem to be everywhere.

After we went to the Bibliothèque Nationale. Unfortunately, the national library is going under construction so we had no way of going inside and looking around which was disappointing.

Then we went to the La Bourse, France’s equivalent of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street. Of course, as all buildings in Paris, it is very beautiful and one would have no idea that it was the building for the stock market and not just another palace.

Finally, we went to the Passage des Panoramas. I loved this covered Passage. There were so many cute shops, little places to eat and very many restaurants. We went inside a lot of little shops and walked around for a while.

Overall, I got to see parts of Paris I never would have before and I loved the passage des panoramas.
À Bientôt,
