Saturday Strolls

On Saturdays, I've gone on strolls in Nancy. It's been a good way to get to know the city and find inexpensive ways to entertain myself.

>>> My first stroll, I started walking down a street to see where it went. I took only my keys least I be tempted by a boulangerie or something else I don't need. I enjoyed the sights to see and the names of apartment buildings that were taken from regions in France: Alsace, Bourgogne, Lorraine... On my way home, I found some useful trash that someone had thrown out. I picked it up and walked quickly away, just in case they changed their mind.





<<< For second stroll, I decided to take myself out on a free evening date. I enjoyed the silent, illuminated streets without feeling in danger. I felt the advantages of being in a small city and enjoyed being outside at night as a single woman.










>>> On the third one, I took the tram to the terminus and walked home. To my surprise, the end of the line isn't very exciting, but the walk back was lovely. I saw a cute little park, the river, bridges decorated with flowers and I even bought a few needed items.


My recent stroll had a mission. I wanted to find the secondhand, warehouse-like shop EmmaĆ¼s without getting lost. On the map, I realized that I could take the same street almost all the way there. I had no idea how direct it was to get there after I went the first time. I literally went out of my way for no reason. The flip side was that I did have an enjoyable time that day. I didn't take a photo of my recent walk so below is from the time I got lost.

I wonder where my next stroll will lead me. Will they run out quickly after I have seen the entire city? Naw! Pas possible.
