Paris day 4

Our 4 days in Paris have been a really nice break in our travels. This morning we went to the Carnavalet Museum. It is an enormous, fascinating museum of the history of Paris.

Game of new Paris created in the 1860s to celebrate the new layout and buildings created by the public works program of Georges-Eugène Haussmann under Napoleon III.

After we left the museum we sat on a bench in Place Des Vosges in the Marais.

Then we had refreshments nearby.
