Goodbye Paris - we will be back

The view from our room - Hotel Marignan
 in the Latin Quarter

Okay so we discover on our last day in Paris that it is not all picture perfect.  We catch the metro to what we think in the Montmatre area but emerge into an African ghetto.  Well it could well be.  We wander around for a while but it is raining and we are feeling like we don't belong here so hop back on the metro to the Latin Quarter.

The art and craft market at Bastille is just cranking up when we arrive.  I buy a lovely handsewn top from a young designer and some earrings.  A last lunch off Boulevard St Germaine and we taxi it to the airport - hours early but it seems the time to move on.  We are in the mental space now of the homeward journey.  One thing is for sure though - we intend to return to this enchanting city.  Au revoir.
