Our first stop was a long artificial island on the Seine it was a pleasant stroll with great views. The weather was perfect which also helped with the walk, I really liked this because there were no tourists so it really did feel relaxing and not rushed. At the end of the little island we came across a small scale statue of lady liberty. It almost felt like home for about .05 seconds.
The statue.
Great view.
We then made our way through the quit streets and into a cafe that the book said was really unique because if its ceiling. We were of course disappointed with it and quickly left the tiny cafe. We saw another Classic art Nouveau building. I have studied art Nouveau a lot and I really don't like the look of it. We then went to see the Turkish Embassy but of course only could see from the outside the beautiful gardens.

We then made our way to a lovely little park that would let us on the grass. Wanting to take full advantage of this opportunity we rested for 20 minted and soaked up the sun. After much needed rest we made our way to Musee Marmatton; a nice little museum that houses many different painting including Monets water lilies. But because I have seen the water lilies in 20 foot painting I was not so impressed with these painting or anything else in the museum. After we left we expected so see many more things on this walk but soon found out we were just supposed to walk. This was was long and tedious...not one of my favorites.
Perfect park.
