I love going to markets in new places. It's a great way to sample new foods and check out what the locals love to eat. Rue Cler is one of Paris's most famous markets. We got a few different types of cheese to try, browsed all the crazy seafood and vegetables, and even got a few prepared foods to bring to the park for lunch.
After grabbing our goodies at the market, we headed to Luxembourg Gardens for our picnic. We also heard about the crazy kids’ park we knew we would have to visit. The first cheese we tried tasted and smelled like Miles' feet, so we gave that one to Sean. The other 2 were amazing goat cheeses. After our lunch we headed to the kid's playground, for a small fee the kids can enjoy the park equipment. The kids loved it! They had some unique things, like a makeshift zipline. Ella had a rough start on it but had a great time afterward. (see video). Miles made a few friends on the merry-go-round. Parents must also pay, so Sean and I watched from behind the gate. We also watched a bit of the weirdest group badminton match.
We are saying goodbye to Paris today and are off to our houseboat.
