• VoiceMap tours galore continued

    Today we did another two VoiceMap tours. We started with the tour of the island where all the history of Paris is concentrated. We stopped by at the magnificent Saint Chapelle with the mind boggling stained glass. We both have been there before, but couldnt miss a chance to marvel at it again for a long time. We then walked around Norte Dame, where the restoration after the fire is still ongoing. They wanted to open it in time for the Paris Olympics but didn’t, and now are saying it’s December 2024. After listening about a lot of history, we were ready to listen about food and took a VoiceMap tour of the Les Halles, which was a food themed tour. We stopped by at some bakeries but sadly many great stores were closed because it was Sunday. We stopped by at a beautiful cathedral and were treated to an unexpected surprise - an hour long organ concert! The cool part was that we could see the organist up and close. We had delicious crepes and then in the evening went to a very cool milonga on a parked boat! It was great - fantastic music, good dancers and great atmosphere!Read more
