Day 4

Today we wandered around the 6th arrondissement, the literary district of Paris called the St. Germaine de Pres neighborhood.  St. Germain was once the stomping grounds of writers and intellectuals such as Simone de Beauvois, Jean Paul Satre and Camus.  We stopped for lunch at the Cafe de Paris where I intend to go again next year for the most delicious salad ever.  From there we explored the Gothic masterpiece, Notre Dame which is located on the Ile de Cite.  Such an impressive, beautiful work of art!
A trip to Paris wouldn't be complete without stopping by the famed bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, where many literary greats have walked through it's doors.  Then it was on to the Musee Eugene DelaCroix to explore the works of this great artist. 
We ended the day with a picnic dinner at the Paris Plage on the banks of the Seine.
