Next time you are in Paris with a few hours to kill before (or after) dinner, or if you need a little break from shopping on the I'sle Saint- Louis- head toward the the left bank of the Seine.
Stroll over the Pont au Double and hop aboard the Kiosque Flottant, a floating barge docked right on the Seine.
The location is perfect- a stunning view of the back of Notre-Dame-flying buttresses and all, with ivy cascading down the stone walls.
Enjoy an aperitif, while watching life go by on the banks of the Seine. Stay from sunset to complete darkness and watch the transformation culminating in the floodlit magic of Notre-Dame.
Life's most memorable moments shouldn't be spent dashing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, while in Paris.
They should be spent soaking up the French atmosphere- taking it easy, enjoying the view, and experiencing life in Paris. Oh, and a cocktail or glass of champagne never hurts either!
The drink might set you back a few Euros, but the experience and the view are priceless!
