We began our voyage on the metro and finished a pied to\u00c2\u00a0Place Octave Chanute in the 19th arrondissement. The group of streets known as la campagne \u00a0 Paris is a block \u00a0of buildings located on a hill to the east of Paris. The roads are lined with small red brick houses with rose bushes on the fasades. Unfortunately, no roses blooming this time of year. They originally were intended as low-income housing given that they were built on the land of an old quarry. Took the staircase to rue Irene Blanc and explore this idyllic pastoral neighbourhood. [print_gllr id=2357] We left this beautiful neighborhood of winding streets and headed for Rue de Mouza\u00afa. \u00a0This was a bit tricker because unlike the others we did not have a particular street to which to navigate. \u00a0We opted to take the Tram which is similar to a metro except it runs above ground more like an old fashion trolly car. \u00a0We departed the tram and with a little help from <a href=\"http:\/\/frenchbychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3445-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2384\" src=\"http:\/\/frenchbychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3445-1-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>the internet we found information about Rue de Mouza <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unjourdeplusaparis.com\/en\/paris-balades\/promenade-dans-la-mouzaia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Walk in mouzaia<\/a>. We eventually found a starting point and strolled up Rue de Mouzaia looking up the side streets enjoying the quiet of the area. This green enclave near Parc des Buttes Chaumont is like a little island with its tiny houses, flower gardens and steep cobbled streets where it&#8217;s fun to get lost. Originally this was cheap housing, for working-class people, but nowadays more affluent Parisians live here, in this tiny village in the centre of Paris.[print_gllr id=2372]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2385\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/frenchbychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3449.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2385\" class=\"wp-image-2385 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/frenchbychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3449-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Mike Croque Monsieur with frites<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2386\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/frenchbychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3393.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2386\" class=\"wp-image-2386 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/frenchbychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3393-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Pat&#8217;s salad of the season with roasted pears, Jambon, and warm goat cheese<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>On our way back to the apartment we stopped for a late lunch in the 1st at one of our favorite cafes by the church L&#8217;Aglise Saint-Eustache, La Pointe Saint-Eustache at 1 rue Montorgueil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here in an interesting bit of trivia, while writing this post I noticed that the 19th arrondissement was the only one we had not spent any time in.
