I have to add my thanks - reminded me of many of the places I saw in '98. Chinon...Chenonceau...Paris, of course. We were just in Paris in April and had gelato at your place. GREAT photos. Thanks for sharing them!

Vivi,

You will love Rue Mouffetard / Place Contrescarpe! Here is a good article that gives you some of the flavor of the area:

Where did you find your apartment? Be sure to tell us how you liked it when you get back.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos and excellent commentary. I did much of the same tour 25 years ago but I only had a small, cheap camera then.

Vivi, I also stayed in that neighborhood and loved it. I describe some restaurants and other neighborhood spots in my trip report:

Nonnafelice...Thanks so much for including the photos with your report. They were lovely. Glad your good karma has returned! Hopefully it will do the same for me as my trip last year to Rome/Paris did not turn out as well as I had hoped. Keeping my fingers crossed for my upcoming trip in September.
