We had a great first full day in Paris, really getting to know the city using the metro, by bike, & even by boat!
We began by riding the metro from our hotel to the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank of the River Seine.
There we met our bike tour guide, Thibault (T-Bow). Once we were all equipped with bikes - & even gloves for the cold! - we set off on our morning tour, taking in all the iconic sights of the city.
We then had around 90 minutes free time for lunch & shopping in the Latin Quarter before we met up again for our late afternoon Seine river cruise.
Our cruise took us up & down Paris' central river, seeing many of the top sights from a different perspective & letting the group really start to get the 'lay of the land'.
This evening was free so most of the group headed back to our hotel & choose one of the local bistros for dinner, though a few adventurous souls headed out to take in nighttime views, such as the Eiffel Tower lit in red, white & blue.
