marne

15 minutes walking from our door we have the marne river. 
this saturday we went there for a long walk and a tiny tiny run.
and it turned out to be the best idea.
the fresh air and the beautiful green shores, the dainty houses on the island, the lovely italien style little restaurant with vibrant flower pots and white wood details, the boats... it was definately the most relaxing saturday we had since we arrived :)

now i wish i had a bike to pedal along the river all the way until paris...



today we visited carnavalet museum. one (or another!) museum i just have to revisit!

  7. This looks like a very nice place ! I'm pleased you had a relaxing time... sometimes it's not far away where you live ^^
    One of my challenge is to ride in or outside Paris (you know that already ;))

    1. yes... me too... that's why i tjink it is a good idea to practice on my way to paris... i don't think i will ever be able to ride through paris without fear of being run over.

      but this is good enough for me :)

  8. The water has a beautiful color ! I used to live in Nogent sur Marne a few years ago, I loved walking along the Marne, or sometime rent a little boat and admire the little islands full of nice houses :)
