Walking around Paris!
The back of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris
One of my favorate cities in the world to walk around is Paris, France. Paris is a very walkable city as there is always something interesting and beautiful to see. I spent a month in France between October and November. My first week in France was in Paris, a city I have visited for over 20 years. For the past 5 years I have stayed in the 9th arrondissement in the same building. It contains many places of cultural, historical and architectural interest, including the Palais Garnier, home to the Paris Opera, Boulevard Haussmann and its large department stores Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Along with the 2nd and 8th arrondissements, it hosts one of the business centers of Paris, located around the Opéra.
