10pm picnic on the bank of the Seine

After hours and hours of shopping and walking, we picked up a few things from the supermarket, stopped into the bakery just before they closed, and found a spot on the very crowded bank of the west end of Ile de la Cite. It was the most fun you could have sitting on concrete, throwing bread scraps to mouldy pigeons, sipping strong cider, eating dry ham, cheese and tabouli and watching the glorious Parisian sunset at about 10.30pm.
