Canal de Saint Martin, Paris.

Wow, we are actually here!
After a long flight we arrived at Charles De Gaulle airport and found our way on to the Metro, which took us to the nearest station to our hotel near the Canal de Saint Martin. After a freshen-up we took off to explore. We found the Chez Prune next to the canal which is a popular watering hole  and of course we stopped to check it out. The canal itself is a very popular meeting place for Parisians. Each evening you can expect to see literally thousands of people sitting by the canal in animated conversational groups picnicing and enjoying a bottle of wine with friends in the cool of the Parisian evening.
It is wonderful to see and I think we will join them tonight with our own bottle of wine and baguette.
