That First Bite
9 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Kathy finally got to try duck in France and she loved it! I wonder if she’ll ever give foie gras, a very specialized but controversial French dish made from duck, a try. She didn’t want it tonightЧитать далее
Duck Breast

Although it’s not cooked enough for my taste, this is exactly how Kathy likes her meat and thought that her duck was perfectly prepared. As for me, I always prefer my meats to be well done. ThisЧитать далее

It was such a wonderful day! We did, and saw, so much today. We’re very happy but also very tired so we’re going to call it a day and go to sleep now. Good night, Paris!
Good Morning!

We’re up early today and are enjoying breakfast at La Croissanterie. This is a chain of bakeries in Paris that seem to be the local equivalent of Dunkin Donuts. This branch is conveniently locatedЧитать далее

After a final check on what we can expect from today’s weather, and a look at what we’ve got planned for today, we’re ready to go out and enjoy another day in Paris.
Richelieu–Drouot Station
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
We got on the Metro at Richelieu - Drouot, the stop closest to where we ate breakfast, and saw this giant wall sculpture as we went down the steps. There is so much public art in Paris! I loveЧитать далее

We’re getting an early start this morning because we’re going on another tour. This tour is going to focused on Notre Dame Cathedral. I’m looking forward to it!
Not Far
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
We’re making good time on our way to Notre Dame. Nothing seems very far away when riding on the Paris Metro. This is the map hanging inside the train cars. It may not be in English but at leastЧитать далее
Saint-Michel
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
Our stop on the Metro was Saint-Michel. I remember that this location was mentioned very frequently in Les Miserables. In the play, it was a slum where the poor people lived. It’s come a long wayЧитать далее
For Sale
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
On the way to Notre Dame we passed so many shops like this and they are all basically selling the same stuff. I don’t know how so many identical stores can exist so close to each other.
Notre Dame Cathedral
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
We’ve seen so many wonderful things in Paris but, so far, Notre Dame Cathedral has been the most impressive and inspiring place that I’ve seen so far.
We’re Here!
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
We’re at the meeting spot for the tour of Notre Dame Cathedral but, so far, we seem to be the only ones here. I know that we’re a bit early but I had expected the tour guide to be here, at least.
The Bell Towers
10 ноября 2017 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
It’s just past 8:00am and everyone on the tour seems to have arrived but the tour guide wants to wait just a bit more in case any stragglers arrive. That’s not really fair. All of us made theЧитать далее
