    I took a walking tour recommended in a travel guidebook. It was very interesting and a nice way to spend an afternoon. I do not think the tour boats would be good though. After watching the intricate locks work, it seemed the diesel fuel was choking evertone out on the boat!
    The walking tour was pretty and you visit a old hosptial where they treated 'The Plague' in the 1600's.

Chez Axel, notre ami franco-québécois, nous avons été accueilli comme des rois. Étonnamment, nous n'avons pas été victimes de racisme par les Parisiens; ceux-ci nous ont plutôt réserv …
