Back in Paris

After a quick, high-speed train trip, we are back in Paris.

It is sunny and warm here, so after lunch, I walked to Ile de Cite (an island in the Seine) to look at Notre Dame.  Restoration after the 2019 fire will take many more years, but they are working on it.

After circling Ile de Cite, I walked to the Hotel de Ville and stood in line to view a retrospective on 60 years of street art in Paris.  It wasn't quite what I expected, but I enjoyed it.  Here is some of what I saw.
