I was so looking forward to today, because I got to spend 2 hours walking with Juliette and her pack of 13 lovely dogs, through the Bois de Vincennes woodlands, on the eastern edge of Paris. The down-side to my travels is that I miss my own dog a lot, so spending quality time with 13 new four-legged friends was awesome. Juliette has been working as a dog-walker for 7 years, after moving to Paris from Bretagne in the north-west coast of France. She loves being outside every day with her pack, and I think she quite possibly has the best job in the world. It’s another sunny day in Paris, so I walk to our meeting point, at the edge of the woods. When Juliette arrives, the dogs are quivering with excitement for their walk, and they leap out of her van, one after the other, running and barking, and smiling (and cocking their legs 🙂 ). Each dog has their own unique personality and characteristics. Getting to know them, and seeing them bound through the grass and playing together will put a smile on your face that is almost as big as the smile on theirs. This is a unique experience in Paris, available to book through Air BnB. The Bois de Vincennes is the largest public park in the city, created in 1855 by Napoleon III. It is huge, perfect for off-leash dogs to run free, and a peaceful break from the crowds in the city.
This one likes to find balls in the grass, but doesn’t want to share them (just like Max)
