A gem of a Paris walk conducted by a GEM - I dont think anyone other than Susan could have done justice to this walk. I was lucky to be the only one walking with her and hence we had a lot of interaction and there was flexibility in terms of what we could do which included stopping for the cult hot chocolate at Carette. Susan was a great story teller, responsive to my preferences and managed to help me experience parts of Paris I never would have found and enjoyed on my own. Including the following - 1)Canal Saint Martin 2)Place de la République 3)Rue de Bretagne 4)Marché des Enfants Rouges 5)Place des Vosges 6)Carette (Place des Vosges) 7)Victor Hugo’s House 8)Église saint Paul saint Louis 9)Galerie Lafayette roof top Highly, highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover the authentic, non touristy side of Paris. Grateful to Susan. God bless.
