Favourite... Run in Paris

Last night I ran from La Grande Mosquée de Paris to the Jardin des Plantes, and along la Seine to Notre-Dame. The weather was beautiful and the shores of la Seine were lined with people on picnics, drinking wine, and enjoying conversation. In the buzz of laughter and the opening of bottles of wine, lovers still found some privacy, a spot of their own from which to enjoy the allure of the night.

I kept running on the shores of la Seine, into le Marais, and to le Bastille. Both quartiers were alive with music and people. Friends were sitting together outside of pubs and bars, and the streets were awash with Parisians enjoying the evening.

This is my new favourite way to enjoy Paris. "What a city!" I thought as I ran down the street beside la Seine, mesmerized by the countless bridges and old buildings lite up in the night.
