3. How lovely...only saw some of the countryside from the chunnel
but it was completely charming. We were only in Paris for a few short days but I was completely taken with it. Of course it was the first few days of spring and the locals and the tourists were high on the warm weather. It was like a dream!
I'm taking a group of 30 + people from our University in May (fifth trip for me) and I was wondering what you did, how long you were gone, where you stayed, and if anything interesting happened while you were there?
6. My first time there, so what could I possibly tell you?
We were so lucky to have beautiful weather...first hint of spring and we took a night time river boat ride and people were picnicking on the right bank singing and waving and generally partying. Love was in the air! We went to the Moulin Rouge one night which shouldn't be missed. We stayed at a hotel in Montmartre (Mercure Roncerey I think it was called). It was close to the Opera House which I decided to tour one morning and it was well worth the few Euros. Gorgeous and decadent (that Napoleon knew his gold statues) and certainly worth the trip. Otherwise we did the Eiffel Tower (but of course) and strolled down the Champs Elysee. And the jam crepes were fabulous. Just wish I had had time to see the inside of all the beautiful churches and museums, but only had time for pics of the street views.
I have been to Paris twice. Once I stayed for a Month in France, from the Rivera to Louire Valley and then to Paris. And once I traveled Europe for three months and stayed in France for a few weeks.
and when we got to Paris I felt like Dorothy leaving Kansas and entering Oz. It was pink and green and whipped cream and chocolates and music and life. Not that I didn't like London, but Paris was just so much more alive. Been back for three days and I just can't shake it off. Don't really want to either!
