Before returning to Paris, from Annecy, we made the decision to make our last two days in Paris more spontaneous and carefree. We still wanted to make sure that we saw what we could, we just simply wanted to do it in a more relaxed way. We were honestly exhausted from all the running around we’d been doing for 4 days prior and wanted to make sure that we weren’t putting unnecessary pressure on our remaining time in town. The day we got back to Paris we went right to Île Saint Louis, it was so wonderful! I did a full blog post about Saint Louis a couple of weeks ago.

We visited Montmare early in the morning on our last full day. We thought we were getting there early, around 10am, but it wasn’t quite early enough!  If we did it again, we would try to get there around 9am. We climbed the stairs to the top, and in doing so, realized we should probably lay off the croissants. Speaking of croissants, I had the best croissant in Paris while we were in Montmare – I ate it so fast that I didn’t get a photo, but you have to take my word for it. The place is called Au Levain d’Antan. Once we had our croissants and coffee we continued to climb and the views just kept getting better and better.
