Relaxing stroll along with the bank...

So, the weather turned out to be sunny and I walked along with the quiet part of River Seine bank. It's so peaceful and quiet, and I got to enjoy the local Parisians' life instead of some busy tourist spots.


There were some kids in the small play ground by the bank. I haven't seen many kids in Paris, and it's quite a nice surprise to catch some kids playing outdoor during the day time.


This photo put a smile on my face. I saw this small group of people playing bocce ball. What caught my eyes were that they played it so seriously that one guy had to bring out his measure tape to see who actually won the game. Just as I was laughing and about to click on my camera, one of the guys saw me and waving to say hi. I thought it was a fun memory photo.


As I continued walking, I got to a local traditional outdoor market. They pretty much sell everything that you need: fresh meat, veggies, fruit, bakery, flowers, clothes, jewelery, cheese and others.



So, my destination of the day was this gorgeous building called Hotel de Ville. It now houses the office of the mayor. Such a gorgeous building, and a great end note after my 8-hour walk today.
