Seine and Falafel

Another weekend passed by marking the beginning of spring break. This time, I decided to hit the 'Quartier Latin' in Paris V.

 Despite the bad weather I enjoyed the crowded streets of Saint Michel, the lively atmosphere making it more agreeable.

 Latin quarter is known for it's student life and is situated on the left bank of the Seine around the Sorbonne. Apart from the famous university 'La Sorbonne' it is home to various other educational institutes.

The one thing that I discovered here in this quarters of Paris is the small restaurant called Maoz Falafel and as the name suggests, one of the best Falafels are made here and we can complement it with a buffet of legumes and sauces.And need I say, the most palatable and delicious Falafels I have ever had.

 The only drawback being limited seating arrangement but relishing those hot, crispy falafels on a bed of delectable vegetables, folded into a soft pita bread by the Seine river makes it an experience which you would tend to do encore.

After feeding ourselves, we made our way to Notredame but didn't go inside it as my son got busy with chasing pigeons and I was just content taking the pictures.

As the night fell upon, Seine looked magnificent as for miles it was a shimmer of lights and the moment is worth capturing when you see the spotlight coming from the Eiffel tower falling on the quiet waters of Seine making it even more magical.My phone camera however didn't do justice with the photos so not posting it here. Shall wait for another time with a better camera!
