Paris 6 - Thoughts from Paris and ephemera

I think this has been one of the most wonderful visits to this City.  Not just because of the company or weather, we just had time to enjoy ourselves.   We weren't going over the same places, maybe Tuileries, but it was all so different in the sunshine.  
I have not lost my love for this place at all.  I definitely want to come back and walk the whole length of the Viaduct des Plantes, take a trip on the canal - which I didn't even know existed.
After unpacking my case, I sorted out all the paperwork I had brought home with me.  
Among the leaflets and receipts was a really good map.  
I had two free Paris magazines with money off vouchers at the back.

I didn't realise I had bought so many postcards!  

Some I purchased from a stall by the cafe on the first day. 


I bought all these for a couple of euros in a shop by Tuileries. They were of the same quality as the others but as we were in a tourist area and shops were vying for trade .... the price dropped.



There were lots of leaflets, I really must try to stop doing this - it's just that they are free and some are really interesting - receipts, luggage labels - unused, Metro tickets, lovely free treasure!



I also picked up this magazine from one of the Estate Agents - there are some areas in Paris which are not too expensive but on the whole - 
e x p e n s i v e!!!



Expect to see some of this appearing on my ATCs and cards real soon!
