Itinerary description

This Traversee de Paris (ouest-est) De la Porte Dauphine à la Porte Dorée (Bois de Boulogne au Bois de Vincennes) is a bit disappointing. The first part was fine. Starting at Bois de Boulogne it is not always easy to follow the indications so a GPS is essential. But if you know the place you can't easily get lost. The trail up to the Eiffel tower and the INvalides is fine. The connection from here to Jardin Louxembourg rather uninteresting. A walk along the seine would be more pleasant. From Jardin du Luxembourg to Jardin des Plantes through Place de Contrescarpe and Arenes de Paris it was a good choice. The last part after Jardin des Plantes on the west of Paris, was quite boring. I know I should have crossed the Hospital but couldn't find the right way in... All in all, and in spite of being recommended by a Lonely PLanet Guide, there are better ways to spend a few hours in Paris. Only worth the trouble if you live in Paris.
