From the Pompidou, we walked / dodged from shadow to shadow across the short & sunny stretch of Paris to the Musée d'Orsay.
On our walk we crossed a bridge. But not just any bridge.
Spencer & Lucy from MIC kissed on this bridge, woaaaaaaaah... As you can imagine, we were really excited about this, so I took a photo of Louise to remember this historic moment. (Don't worry I'm not really thaaaat obsessed...only a little bit)
We then arrived at the Musée d'Orsay. After climbing the thousands & thousands of steps all the way to the top, we arrived at the most famous floor.
It was a-mazing. Louise & I tagged along to a guided group to listen in on what each sculpture / painting meant, it was really interesting.
My favourites were Monet's pieces and Degas' sculpture of the little 14 - year old dancer. I have a book about her at home and it was incredible to see her in real, ribbon and all!
No photos were allowed so I made do with this sneaky shot.
After this, we did even more walking, through the famous 'Jardins des Tuileries', to get to our restaurant for the evening. Louise joined me in my quest for shade this time, it was so so hot!
I had a little dip in the garden's big fountain, then we resumed our walk, walking past Le Louvre on our way.
The restaurant was gooood! Turned out it was a pizzeria & we all devoured our food. After all that walking can you really blame us?
It was delicious & pretty central so it was nice to see the hustle & bustle of Paris as we ate outside. Cheers Louise!

I had a sizzling hot marguerita. Look at it ooze with delicious-ness. Mmmm yeah.
The meal was really tasty & amongst the people walking past, there was an awesome guy who had given his dog dreadlocks. Yes, dreadlocks.
It was really cool when the dog jumped, showing off his locks.
Our pizza feast was so tasty that we asked to take our leftovers back with us. (No use in wasting, eh?)
looks like an amazing time! this year i was given a choice of where to go, paris or geneva and i chose the wrong destination!! great inspiration! love the first pic!
