Bus 72, public transport and cinema

Tired of walking? Cannot think on anything else to do in Paris?

The bus 72 may be the solution! It goes all the way from Chatelet to St Cloud by the Senne, passing by the Louvre, Concorde, Eiffel Tower, Trocadero, Parc de Princes, among others.
If you buy one of those daily tickets, you can hop on and off the bus as many times as you want. It is like a bus tour without the guide.

Unfortunately, for some reason, in the bus or in the metro, you always have the feeling that most people here are unhappy. I wonder why. How can you make such a face when you have the Eiffel Tower just a few meters away?

Personally, I think I will never get tired of Paris. I discover something new everyday.

Yesterday, for example, I went to see a movie from the 50s, called The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing...a real classic! And there were so many people there! It seems that around the "quartier latin" there are a lot of small cinemas that show old movies in their original version with subtitles in French. The cinema was also really beautiful...all red velvet! It was like travelling in time really.

No, I will never get tired of here.
