Last week I got to go on a night bike tour with Fat Tire. A friend of mine who previously worked there had some friends in town and suggested I tag along since I hadn't been yet. We pedaled through the city as a group of 20 stopping on Île Saint-Louis for some Berthillon ice cream (it's made on the island; supposed to be the best of the best; it was real tasty), briefly chatting about Cathedrale Notre Dame and the Palais de Justice before making our way to the Louvre for some photos and lastly a river boat cruise after dark.

It was a good tour. I'd suggest it for travelers (or residents) just to have a leisure ride through the streets and learn a little bit about some of the buildings. It also gives you a good "lay of the land" while you're biking. Or maybe I'm just now learning how to get around better. I haven't been on their other tours but this one incorporates biking at dusk, sunset, and a river boat cruise... with wine! It's a win in my book!
HAPPY 4th of JULY! We were just saying last night that it's just not the same when we're away but we are going to try to make the most of it tonight by hosting another potluck sans the grill this year. But first, we are going to watch France battle Germany in the World Cup match... which seems like the most un-American activity but when in France, right? Bon week-end!
