Evening Stroll Along Champs Élysées

LA VIE: Exploring Paris reveals some of the traditional, yet pleasant things about the French. I adore their ability to be mobile and simply enjoy life. As I enjoy the thousands of people walking around the city, I’m still a newbie and wander around alone. Aside from a few friends as work, I’m very young in the meeting new people stage. My interactions with a few people I met were quite nice and I feel I will have a new set of friends in no time.

I decided I would spend a Saturday walking the 6th and 7th arrondissements. I exited Metro 1 - Champs Élysées and simply began walking…

I realized the holiday market was in full swing! I suddenly saw sparkles, lights, people, and mini chateaus of merchants selling food, drinks (hot wine sounded awkward to me, but whatever…) and merchandise.
