With the sun finally out, more and more people flock to the gardens for jogging.

Favourite jogging area for the Parisian joggers.

Surrounded by nice vegetation and trails.

One could just sit and enjoy the scenery, Paris during autumn.

Chocolate shop very near to the market.

Very short walk on Rue Lobineau, we finally reached the market.

The market at Rue Lobineau.

Flowers for sale too, very clean environment

We then went for a very different shopping, skincare products, a favourite among the ladies.

Branded goods outlet too.

Affordable skincare products available at City Pharma.

Right opposite the City Pharma, the famous cafes 'Les Deux Margots' and 'Cafe de Flora'

Not forgetting the also famous 'Emporio Armani' cafe

Cafe de Flore quite packed outside, Parisian favourite spot.

The same with 'Les Deux Margots', both very famous cafe.

We decided to try out 'Les Deux Margots' as the tables inside are still quite vacant.

Very classic feel to it.

Tables are neatly decorated. Very formal looking waiter too.

 Interior is also very nicely decorated.

Not that crowded inside.

Ordered sandwiches and apple juice

Bacons with 2 sunny side up eggs.

Comes with some baguette.

 These seems to be out of place.

The sandwiches and bacons with eggs are good.

Nice ornaments at the cafe.

Other ornaments in display too

Are those really cameras ?

After some rest for the legs, we moved out to explore.

A church at Saint Germain des Pres.

This is indeed one of the best day in Paris.Lots of sun shine, blue skys.Stay tuned for more.

Paris - Day 3 - Part 2 - Jardin du Luxembourg

After walking around Pantheon, it is time to have a snack and Boulangerie Eric Kayser is also nearby. Unfortunately, the staff at Boulangeris Eric Kayser didn't allow photography, and we got just 2 photographs.

 Boulangerie Eric Kayser at Rue Monge.

Various pastries at Boulangerie Eric Kayser.

Boulangerie Eric Kayser makes the pastry at the shop, managed to see a worker carrying white flour out of the bakery, the croissant has more buttery taste to it. Slightly different than Paul, but still quite top notch.

Autumn leaves at Rue Jean de Beauvais and Rue de Latran.

Look at the flowers.

Walking at Rue du Sommerard towards Musee Cluny, a medieval palace originally serve as the town house of the abbots of Cluny since 1334.

We didn't venture in Musee Cluny, in fact our next destination is Jardin du Luxembourg, the second largest public park. We walked further on.

Rue de la Sorbonne

University of Sorbonne, nice place to study, lots of history.

Around the University of Sorbonne

Finally the sun decided to come out and it is a different feel at Paris, very welcoming. We marched to the public park.
