day four (4): Versailles and more...

And more...

After we returned to Paris we stopped at station Saint-Michel to walk a bit. We arrived naturally at Place Saint-Michel and saw the great Fontaine Saint-Michel...


After a few minutes on foot we came to Préfecture de Police Kinda hard not to notice you're in France huh? I guess there was a sale on flags...



If you look just behind the motorbike you can see a small fountain. It's called a Fontaine Wallace, and here's a close up...



They still function today, and we used them many times throughout our travels in Paris.



As we continued on our walk we passed again Le Palais de Justice where we could better see La Sainte-Chapelle.



After reaching the Right Bank we came to Place du Châtelet



And then La Tour Sainte-Jacques


Then finally we made it to the Marais. And after all that walking (Versailles and Paris) it was time for a drink, so we stopped at Wolf Bar...



Then had a bite to eat at le Pavé...



And then one last drink at the Bear's Den...


And by the time the drinks were done... it was time to go home and sleep...

Tomorrow... Le Louvre.
