We awoke to
another gloomy and bitterly cold day. Stuffing
my bag with snacks and other goodies, I was determined to have a picnic at the
Luxembourg Gardens. And even though our bones were shivering, that is just what
we did.
Europe is no
stranger to the odd Pantheon, and Paris is no exception. Here I marvelled at
the intricate carvings, whilst being swallowed up by the sheer enormity of the
columns. The part I was most impressed with though, was the floors! There was
this particular part that had a simple but, phenomenal wave pattern on it. I
was in love! The eerie and incredibly large crypt below, holds the likes of
Victor Hugo, Voltaire and many other famous French that I can't quite remember,
but probably should. Weaving in and out of the crypts I couldn't help but
wonder, what a weird thing to do; look at a stone box containing a skeleton.
With time to
spare, we headed over to the Pont des Arts, which was all completely barricaded
off with graffitied wooden boards. This was due to parts of the bridge
collapsing under the colossal weight of the paddle-locks a.k.a. love locks. I
found a blank paddle-lock and scribbled on it "shani + m&m's".
Hopefully I haven't condemned my already doomed love life. And on that note,
I'm off to indulge in some peanut m&m's.
