Cruise along Seine River, Paris

There's a lot of boats for tourists to cruise along Seine River in Paris. The boat will stop at all the tourist spots in Paris and passengers can hop out to visit each spot. Then they can hop in the next boat using the same ticket.

It was a very windy Sunday and not many people went out. Certain parts of Paris had hurricane. It was heaven to get inside a closed boat and out of the cold windy air that can cut through your bone. Now I can understand why Europeans like to visit hot countries like Malaysia.
Aiman walking along the river bank. Each day we walked miles and miles but since the air is cool, it's not tiring. For a boy of 5 years old, he has a lot of stamina.

Most buildings in France are not allowed to do any renovation to its exterior. Only the interior can be renovated. This is how they maintain their identity. As they say a city without old buildings is like a city without a past.
I think most buildings like this housed a lot of apartments.

Even a super boy has his own limit. Taking a nap in the ferry.

Behind is Notre Dame, one of Paris landmark.

It took 180 years to built Notre Dame.

Most buildings along Seine River looks like the belong to the same era of time - in the past. Part of Paris identity.
