Un samedi après-midi, je me retrouve à Paris, à Saint-Michel. La ligne 4 est fermée. Je suis chargée et j'ai envie de rentrer tranquillement, pas de marcher sous le soleil de plomb pour rejoindre Châtelet. C'est alors que je remarque qu'un bus 21 va bientôt arriver. C'est parfait, le 21 me déposera à Saint-Lazare. Et c'est ainsi que ma petite aventure commence.
Le bus 21 passe par la rue de Rivoli, près du Louvre, à Opéra et place de Clichy.
