After our petit déjeuner we walked to the Luxembourg gardens and passed by impressive buildings, charming homes and darling shops with beautifully dressed windows
We then walked to the Notre Dame Cathedral on Île de la Cité
This is when I cursed myself for not bringing a larger lens as the 50mm (my absolute favourite) just couldn’t capture the grandeur of the cathedral’s Gothic beauty
Naturally this was a very touristy area, so of course it was full of pickpockets and scam artists. Luckily we had our wits about us and we didn’t fall foul to the tricksters. Wanting to stay lucky, we made our way along the Seine to Pont des Arts
We knew the bridge was groaning under the strain from the weight of the padlocks, but we didn’t realise it had been boarded up!
However some space on the railings leading from the bridge to the pavement remained
and we found the perfect little spot for our love lock
Over the moon in love with your photographs and how you captured the details of your travels. I know you missed the lens, but you did a wonderful job! The engraved lock is so perfect….what planning!! xoxo
Oh, how wonderful to be in Paris, especially on your anniversary, sweetie!!! Weren't you the lucky one!! Heavenly…everything looks so heavenly!!! May life always be so full of love!! Always, Sherry xoxoxo
OH WOW!! I'm moaning OH WOW over and over again on seeing all these amazing images. I REMEMBER the Paris hot chocolate. Never again will I taste anything as divine as that. It's so cute how you got an engraved lock to use. It's all very romantic. I'm so happy for you guys that you had such a beautiful way to celebrate your anniversary. Seems like you've already spent half your lives together. That's even better than one of those pastries! ♥
Your photos are stunning, Morwenna! Thank you for the gorgeous virtual tour of day 2! You certainly packed a lot into one day! That hot chocolate from Angelina looks divine!
What gorgeous photos, Morwenna! Two of our daughters have been to Paris, but that is still a dream of mine! I am drooling over the treats! xo
Thank you so much Nellie! You simply must visit Paris, you would absolutely love it! xo
Thank you so much Rosinda! The hot chocolate was the truly best we have ever had and I cannot wait to try and recreate it! xo
Thank you so much Nancy! When we were planning the trip we knew we wanted to get our lock engraved, so when we go back in the future we'll be able to find it 🙂 I am still dreaming about the hot chocolate too and cannot wait to recreate it! ♥
Thank you so much Sherry! That is such a wonderful motto to live by xoxo
