Paris long weekend - Jun '19
When you are asked to meet up in Paris with family flying in from Australia. Oh, OK then 
Not our favourite city but to be honest it grew on me a little this trip. No 'work' and mainly random tourist activities probably helped. As did warm summer days I guess. Although I'm sure plenty would say it was too warm in Paris at this time (it was quite toasty in parts!) - those people should live in Australia before making such complaints though

Local airport: front door to gate in 30 mins. Not that we fly much, but it's a bit handy. Not a bad view either 
Saturday 22 June 2019
Arrive in Paris. Go directly to chinatown. Find restaurant in rather dodgy concourse below high-rise block. Enjoy!
Saturday 22 June 2019
Down by the Seine. Plenty of trendy looking bars. Must be where cool kids hang after dark. Let's move swiftly on!

Messing about at the Opera... I have no idea why!

Galeries Lafayette Gourmet: beautiful food at silly prices. Couldn't choose between the meats so left empty handed

Even without festive decorations this place looks quite pretty I guess. Just don't but what you don't need, OK?

No idea what she's drinking, but I'll certainly be needing a bit more than this thimble of beer that just arrived!

The view from a budget parisian hotel. At least it's... erm... characterful?

Today's boulangerie visits: but who chose most wisely? Coffee & swirl or chicken & avocado baguette? Nom, nom!
Monday 24 June 2019
Just a few 'edgy' Parisian street photos. Aka. graffiti & other stuff. Paris, in general, needs a good clean!

Sad, but why do vast donations flood to this place when there's precious little for even greater natural wonders?

Streets of Paris: loads of photogenic restaurants & bars. Shame there's only so much you can eat & drink!
Monday 24 June 2019
Sights from the Pont des Arts. River & boats. Tourists & buskers. Dare I say, a beautiful summer's evening in Paris!
Tuesday 25 June 2019
A very busy, rather warm (middle of heatwave) Palace of Versailles. Quite beautiful & very interesting all the same.

Parisien coffee stop. Coffee? Blergh! But at least you can't go wrong with the accompaniment in a patisserie
Wednesday 26 June 2019
Sacre Coeur in Paris. Not often you see such beautiful light inside a church. Worth the climb up those steps!
