Saint Germain des Près "Je vous adore!"

One of my favourite areas to stay in Paris is Saint Germain des Pres on the left bank.The  gorgeous winding 'rues parisennes' , rather than the large 'Haussmann boulevards' , draw me back again and again. Even if I am bunked up on the right bank, I still find my way across to the other side of the Seine, to all that the 6th arrondissement offers.

The most beautiful Luxembourg gardens..... to wander around,...

To have a bite to eat...or something to drink and while away the time  amongst the flora....

The gardens are huge and there is soooo much to see, but I like going there best to sit on one of the famous green garden chairs and just watch it all unfold...

 I came across this last time.. who would have thought!

I walked over to take a photo, next thing whistles are blowing ...the fun police  (grass police actually) were onto us! They are very precious about their grass ,  so keep an eye out for  the signs that say " pelouse non autorisée!"

I've come to know Rue de Buci quite well , and definitely have a soft spot for it, with its brasseries, cafes, restaurants, 'marches' and...well  really....just the whole atmosphere of the area.

Flower market   rue de Buci

The perfect place to share  a happy hour is at Cafe du Marche, Re de Buci  with its  great vibe, great people watching vantage and very  cute overall clad waiters !

I'm just sooo touching the surface of what I love in Saint Germain..more another day!

A bientôt!
