Paris in the Rain

We woke up the next morning at just before our checkout time of noon to find that the storm that had just started as we left Zurich had followed us to Paris. It was kind of a blessing though as it was a lot cooler and we found umbrella's before the worst of the rain started. We stopped at a little bakery in the middle of the fashion district and picked up a couple of sandwiches. Oh...the bread in France! There is nothing like it. Even a little local bakery has baguettes with perfectly crunchy crust and tender chewy insides. Our walk took us past the French National library on our way to the Louvre.
