These are better days - Day 19

After getting Gail's bag back, we were finally able to see Paris in the light we are used to. Despite no sleep I was keen to get a bit of planned sightseeing while the weather remained kind. 
 A much happier Childbride and I strolled along the Sienne to the Jardin De Plantes enjoying the sunshine, and then along the Canal St Martin, through the Place de Voges to our favourite lunch spot the Petite Marche.
The day continued its upward arc when we fluked a table near the window and enjoyed a fantastic formula lunch of prawn/avocado starter and monkfish main. A little Lanson champagne and white wine brought us to a wander back for a little nap that was needed for the tour director.
Late afternoon we strolled up Boulevard St Germain and at Pont Neuf we joined a sunset cruise on the river, taking in the sights. Afterwards, we had a  walk past Notre Dame, as the bells chimed, to our last stop of our favourite bistro to take the chance to thank Silvio for helping as translator in retrieving the bag.
We were greeted by the staff as old friends....... We already have a local haunt.
Can't believe the difference in our feelings today!
Gail with the bag!
