The days are still long and sunrise is around 7am and it finally gets dark around 8.30pm. The mornings are fresh so the leather jackets and scarves are out.
Thanks to Robert and Ruth, I wandered the streets around La Butte-aux-Cailles in the 13th arrondissement. This area seems like a little village compared to much of Paris. In 1783, the first montgolfière balloon to carry passengers landed here after a flight of 25 minutes.
I also visited the Conciergerie - this was the former prison where Marie-Antointte was held.
