Morning Commute

The girls go to school on the Ile of St. Louis to the Ecole Maternelle Poulletier in what is really the oldest part of Paris. I thought it would be neat to chronicle their (our) morning commute to school to show you a part of our Parisian experience.
This is our stairway just outside of our apartment door. The girls take turns. One gets to open our door while the other gets to turn on the light in the stairway.
This is the door to our building on rue du Vert Bois.
Here Vivien is hovering on the way to the Metro station. We call her 'Crazy Legs' for a reason.
This is where we get on the Metro at the Arts et Metiers. This is our station.

The Arts et Metiers station is one of the coolest in all of Paris. Next stop Chatelet station.
Here we transfer from the 11 to the 7 and will exit at Pont-Marie.

We will then cross the Quai de Celestins and cross the Siene on the Pont-Marie.


This is the view of the Siene in the morning from the Pont-Marie. We will walk along that row of buildings and take the first right (where the stairs to the Siene are) to school.

Once we hang up Izzy's coat we'll head up to her classroom....
...and drop her off.
Then upstairs to Viviens classroom to drop her off. I think next we'll document our trip back home.
