after visiting the Louvre, we crossed over to the left bank where we found a cute little cafe close to the Musee d'Orsay...then we took a stroll down the Seine. This was my first visit to this part of the city and I felt that it was a truly Parisian day...sigh...I often forget that I live in the infamous "Paris" b/c daily life does not often afford these pleasures, it was a picturesque treat.
