Day 6

Paris to Avignon. After packing 40 kilos of @#%!^ into a couple 20 kilo bags (approximately 8), we left them to be moved to a car by the rental staff. After carrying them down 3 flights of stairs, they were not nearly as pleasant about the service as they had seemed the day before when...

A quick dash through France

We only stopped momentarily in Lille, but I'm still counting it as France! The French countryside up from the channel seemed pretty bland and flat. Lots of well-orchestrated greenery, and no hedges. Not really my cup of tea. Lille itself, we couldn't see very well from the train, but it...

Day 5

Up a bit earlier today in anticipation of the arrival of John, Connie, and Craig. Paul tidied the apartment and we went for breakfast near the hotel of Connie and Craig so we would be right there to meet them. A weary looking trio soon climbed out of a nearby cab. The first information we...

When the conductor (Michelle)...

Day 3

We started by sleeping in, again. We shared a fresh baguette for breakfast. Then off to St. Chapelle where we saw beautiful 769 year old stained glass windows in the chapel that was built by Louie IX as a part of his palace to house the thorn crown from the crucifixion and a part of the cross....

Day 2

First of all we need to fill in the missing details from yesterday: As we walked from Ile St Louie to Ile La Cite to check out Notre Dame, we were crossing the La Seine on the Pont Saint Michel bridge, a musician was playing along the river and a beautiful young women in a sun dress was riding...

Arriving in Paris

After an uneventful flight across the pond, though the three of us slept a collective 3 hours, we arrived in Paris ready to go. After a slight delay in getting our train passes due to unexpected glitches in credit card function we were on our way to Paris city center. We arrived on Ile Saint...
