Sometimes the impromptu ideas are the best. My only regret for you is the flooding and the closing of some of the museums. LIke you, walking is what I like to do in Paris. It is such an adventure and feast for the eyes. Everywhere is beauty, and serendipity is the best guide. I can't wait to hear all the details, see your photos, and I suspect a beautiful sketch book. I see you mention Rue Cler. Was the apartment on Rue Cler? "My" neighborhood! I say that in jest, but the apartment we have always stayed in is on Rue Cler. It is such a perfect area, easy access to everything. Oh, I'm just bubbling with excitement that you took this trip. Rest up and relax, replaying every detail to enjoy again and again.

The hotel reservations were the hardest as everyone wanted different accommodations and Paris is pricey to sleep in. We stayed across the street from Serge Gainsborough's home. I think that was his name. Many people came to view it. My biggest regret was I didn't go visit the crypt of Leonardo da Vinci when we went to the Loire Valley. Did not even know it was there. We went 5 years ago. It makes one wonder why we don't plan more trips and just go instead of planning every little thing.
