The Grand Mosque of Paris

The Grand Mosque of Paris with its remarkable architecture and lush gardens feels like a hidden gem in this already colorful city.

A glimpse of the changing fall colors.

The exterior of the men’s prayer room. 

The outdoor garden was a haven for sleepy pigeons.

The Grand Mosque of Paris also had an adjacent restaurant.

I got the best mint tea I have ever had in my life. 

Breakfast Around The Bastille

 A little tea with a view to start the day.

My market pomegranate.

Mom trying to make up her mind. 

I got this chocolate stuffed and sugar coated little donut hole as well as a chocolate croissant. It was a very chocolaty breakfast. 

A vibrant flower shop.

A copper lamp in a shop’s window display. 

A row of shops built into the structure of a bridge. 

An adorable little book store. 

The Place de la Bastille. 

A quick stop for a cappuccino. 

Boat Tour Along The Seine

The steps where we had our picnic a few days earlier. 

Norte-Dame in the distance. 

Our boat ramp had a sculpture of a T-Rex skeleton. 

Back at our Airbnb enjoying a bottle of wine we purchased at one of the local shops. Merlot is my favorite and I couldn’t resist the adorable hedgehog logo.
