Left Bank, Paris (Easy - 7km)
Desserted streets, overcast grey sky with a cool wind which gave me a shiver as I stepped out for my last run in Paris before heading home.
I ran along the left bank, past the Musee d'Orsay and the Assembly National where the flags were flying at half mast to honour the passengers who died on the Air France plane crash. Passed a few other early morning runners - even collected a Bonjour - that put a smile on my face. Who said the French were rude. Ran back under the Eiffel Tower past the Ecole Militaire and the Invalides then along Rue de Babylon back to the hotel. The area under the Eiffel Tower was earily quite - the soldiers with machine guns and a few other joggers were the only people I saw. Such a contrast to what the area looked a like a few hours later. Still have to pinch myself - it all seems so unreal.

Hi Stef, I have loved reading about your trip, its as if I have been there in France and Spain with you, so I am sad to be leaving too.
Thanks for blogging, its been a real treat to have a slice of the good life. Mmmmm the croissants, the coffee, c'est la vie.
