Paris Trifecta (Oct 21, 2025)

 As the title implies, we hit three sights in the first and second arrondissements today: the Palais Royal, Tuileries Garden, and some cool "passages" along the way.

We were close to the Louvre.

Colonnes de Buren, Palais Royal

Tree-lined path, Palais Royal garden

Passages are covered pedestrian shopping arcades that are scattered throughout this area of town.  They've been around since the first half of the 19th Century, and we were able to stroll through a couple.  We even had lunch at a Korean restaurant in one!

Again, lots of walking today so after some crepes along the way, we headed back to our room. Tomorrow is our second daytrip (actually an overnight) from Paris.

We left Annecy by bus ( Flixbus ) for the roughly two-hour trip to Lyon.  I'm glad we transferred here last week when we went to Annecy-...
