Sabrina: I used to walk everywhere in Paris, I used to walk from

Montmartre down to the center of the town. Along the
Seine there is a four-mile wall that goes from Isle Saint
Germain to the Pont de Austerlitz. It takes you past all
the bridges of Paris, 23 of them. Then you find one you
love and you go there everyday with your coffee and
journal, and you listen to the river.
