On Wednesday, I met up with three new friends to go explore the fifth arrondissement. We started along the Seine and walked through a garden filled with modern art sculptures.

We made our way to the Jardin des Plantes, which is a big botanical garden with several greenhouses from the 1930s. Also here are three natural-history museums and the Menagerie, one of the world's oldest zoos.

We next headed to see La Grande Mosquee de Paris, built in the 1920s. Just around the corner was the Arenes de Lutece, an old roman amphitheater were a group of old men were playing a game of boules. Of course after all this walking, we had to stop for pastries.
