One of our favourite things to do in Paris is to walk in the Latin Quarter, as we did this day in 1997. There are small sidewalk cafes, old churches, brasseries, and a great variety of different shops. Because so many interesting things catch the eye, we are always intrigued by what may be just around the next corner.
The left bank of the Seine in Paris is noted for its vibrant street life and sidewalk cafes. This famous bistro, the Cafe de la Paix, opened its doors in 1862. When we stopped there in 1994, it was a reminder for us that the left bank - or La Rive Gauche as it is called in French - was once the home of many of the world's best painters and writers.
