Walking tour of Notre Dame and the surrounding streets

Notre Dame
Today we met up and started our walking tour on the rive gauche (left bank). It's called the Quartier Latin. Our first stop was a small street with lots of shops and cafes, followed by Notre Dame cathedral on Il de la Cite. Then we crossed over to the right bank (rive droit) to find more shopping and cafes, as well as the Centre Pompidou (Contemporary art museum/expo). Afterwards we split up and some of us went to the Creperie Beaubourg, where we had a 2-course meal and cider. It was delicieux! Ensuite, we went shopping a bit and explored the area until we got tired and walked back to our apartment. On the way home, we stopped at a chocolate shop where they had the coolest chocolate sculptures!
"Au rive gauche, on pense, et au rive droit, on depense."
