Weather: It’s been bi-polar one day sunny next day gray, one thing to note is that you will still need a coat or jacket because it still gets chilly. Pack something pretty pink or neutral to go along with the cherry blossoms or Sakura (see our top 5 places to discover them in Paris).
- Behind Notre Dame
- In front of Shakespeare and Co bookstore
- At the Eiffel Tower but more down on the green to the side of Trocadero
- Parc de Sceaux
- Jardin des Plantes

RIP
