Paris 2021 Day Six

Our route to the river today took us through the beautiful Jardin des Plantes. With our Nivigo Découverte pass, we got a great deal on the Batobus, a small bateau that lets one hop on and off at nine major sites along the Seine. We hopped off for lunch/dinner at Les Antiquaires, and again for a peek at Notre Dame. The Metro gave us a straight shot back home from Châtelet.

Lovely to see the Frauenkirche coming back. And “pleach” is a word that cracks me up. Pleach.
