    Vive La Révolution!! Vive le grand art!!

    May 15, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Dale got to tick off a bit of a recent fan boy moment today with a tour around Paris visiting key sites and areas from the French Revolution…at least where they still existed. A bit like India’s Jack the Ripper Experience though, Dale did have to correct the guide a few times 🤣😜
    So interested was he, that he forgot to take any photos 🤦‍♂️

    Along the way our guide let us in on some of the broader history of Paris, the architecture, and the hidden gems around the streets.
    Very importantly, he advised us that in Thirroul we live in “the arse of the sack” and that in Paris they’ve renamed those streets to give them more…panache 😏

    Then it was time to experience the very frustrating event that is getting into The Louvre. Three long lines later though we raced through the galley to join another long line to see some a painting of some lass possibly smiling, possibly judging with ironic RBF.
    In all seriousness though, The Louvre was pretty cool. Amazing paintings and history and our very lucky girls got to hear a whole bunch of extra information from their lovely parents as the read plaques, Google, and listened to the audio guides…such lucky children! 😝😍
