Paris

Chocolates in Galley Lafeyette - we bought one each.

Parking
















On the 9 km Paris Without Cars walk











Apartment










Paris is terrific and today even the weather was lovely, warm and I wore a skirt.



The apartment is spacious, a garret, light, warm with all mod cons, quiet and in a terrific area.

I have had a visit from Julie and Stuart and we:

  • walked around local area

  • attended mass in Notra Dame - all bells and smells and music

  • had dinner in a restaurant recommented by Jill Dupleix

  • went on a 8 km walk with thousands of Parisians about Paris without cars

  • visited Chartres

  • went on a merry- go- round

  • admired the food in Fauchon

  • walked around Montmarte

  • had lunch in Printemps under a stained glass cupola

  • walked passed the house where Edith Piaf was supposed to be born

  • seen the house where Victor Hugo lived

  • walked up the romanesque tower of Chartres Cathedral - I went half way they went all the way.

They when to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night and I went to bed.

Dear Pat
thanks for having us for a visit we had a wonderful time. I have not been able to find any information as yet about our Sunday Morning stroll.
