Paris 4

One of the things on our "to do" list was to find St Germain Street. Actually there is a whole area by that name with several places and things bearing the name.


Here is Denise sitting at the St Germain cafe ordering hot chocolate.


When our order came there was a le saint-germain napkin and the cups were Cafe Richard cups. How appropriate. They must have been expecting us....


Here is Denise at the "lock of love" bridge. Both sides of the bridge are covered in locks, inside and out. When the space was covered, people started locking locks on the other locks already there. Now the locks are several locks deep on each side. A few weeks ago one side started to collapse and they closed the bridge for a day or two. I hate to think what the weight of all those locks is on the bridge. Some people in Paris have petitioned to have the locks removed because they think it is creating a safety hazard.





This pic is outside the Musee d'Orsay. The ladies in the sculptures are keeping a watchful eye on the of what's happening.
