      Eating at the neighborhood of the Eiffel Tower

    • Day 18

      2017 in Paris

      January 1, 2017 in France ⋅ 🌫 0 °C

      We had a very lazy start this morning. We didn't get to bed until 2.30am. The bakery was closed today so we had our aussie breakfast of bacon & eggs for Dave's birthday. We didn't set off until after midday. We went and had a look where we have to catch the train tomorrow as its always harder loaded up with luggage. Then Kellie wanted to pick up a few souvenirs. We stopped and had a bite to eat and warm up. When we came out it had dropped a few degrees. We had miniscule snowflakes las we walked to the Eiffel tower to get our last pictures but once again heavy fog. So Paris only showed us blue sky and the sun on our first day and we couldn't get over how cold it was. If only we had known that it was going to be our best and warmest day! Took a few pictures by this time it's after 5pm. As Brodie & I have head colds we headed back to our apartment. Unfortunately I can't cook steak for Dave's birthday so it's chicken again. We are all starting to grow feathers. He does have a french red wine to drink. Tomorrow we catch the train to Italy with a stopover at Turin.Read more

    • Day 18

      New Years Eve in Paris

      January 1, 2017 in France ⋅ 🌫 -3 °C

      None of us felt like going out after our day in the country, but we knew we would regret it if we didn't go into the city. We all layered the clothes on and didn't take any bags or my camera for security reasons. On a side street we had to go through security then on Champs-Elysèes we then had to go through security again. Opening up our jackets and vests. People started pushing and I was glad to get away from that. Once in it was a nice atmosphere with families etc. It soon filled with people. All side roads were blocked and plenty of police around. Dave went and talked to a couple of them. It was truly spectacular show to watch and felt very privileged to be there.
      Getting home was intetesting to say the least, everyone trying to get on the subway at once. We witness a lady get robbed. Two people on a motorbike knocked her over and stole her bag. Sad way for her to see 2017 in. We eventually made it home about 1.30am.

    • Day 67

      Day 67: Paris, France

      August 26, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      This morning we woke up and went for breakfast at a cafe near the Eiffel Tower. We got attacked by a persistent bee and had three people attempting to kill it for us.

      After we walked over to the Eiffel Tower and Champs de Mars. The top of the tower was closed temporarily so we decided to go back at another time so then we headed over to the Arc de Triomphe and took of a walk on Champs-Élysées (not before taking a few pictures of the Eiffel Tower of course). We then stopped in Zara for quite a while and I saw the coolest Sephora store (I've been in many because of Zoe and this one was certainly really cool).

      When we got to Place de la Concorde, we jumped on the metro to head back. After having cold weather for the past few weeks, we are not used to the humidity and we were really excited to shower. After our showers, we went for the most amazing Indian food and finally just got back at 11:30 pm. Now off to bed to get up early tomorrow for the Louvre.

    • Day 6

      Ate Dinner at Iolanda

      June 9, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      We ate dinner at Iolanda, a restaurant nearby the hotel, after our long journey at the Louvre. I got Pepperoni Pizza and a chocolate milkshake!
      (Pictures of unique buildings are from down the street.)

    • Day 9

      PARIS Saint-Germain Gooooooooal!!

      September 8, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

      Toured the stadium today, home of the 2024 Olympics. Very cool, all white on white inside. Some quality time Mbappè.

    • Day 5

      UEFA EURO 2016

      June 21, 2016 in France ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

      從凡爾賽回巴黎後,緊接著就是期待已久的歐洲盃足球賽,跟世足賽一樣是四年一次的,而歐洲盃就像是歐洲版的世足賽,歐洲各個國家互相比賽,一個月後冠軍隊誕生。

      ## 2016.06.21 18:00 at Parc des Princes
      ## Northern Ireland vs. Germany

      真的是很意外的,從來沒想過有機會看歐洲盃。只因為不小心看到了賽程,在巴黎的期間剛好有一場就在巴黎王子公園球場(PSG主場),而且是德國
      而發現這件事的時候,這場的票已經賣完了,所以從那天開始天天關注黃牛票的網站,直到等到與原價貴了5歐的佛心價票立馬下訂。
      (PS. 買黃牛票是非法的喔不要學)

      來說說比賽,我永遠不會忘記,一出地鐵站所有人開始唱起加油歌,不管是德國還是北愛,聽著聽著精神都來了。走在球場附近突然被一個北愛球迷擊掌喊著ya,頓時感受到不管是哪一隊都很熱血,不論是敵是友。還有突然被北愛球迷搭訕,看我穿德國球衣就狂嗆德國 (是開玩笑的嗆啦),然後跟我說我不要穿德國了啦!穿北愛啦~我差點要跟他說”你送我我就穿北愛”,還賺到一件球衣呢!進球場的安檢頗嚴格,攜帶包包的會特別查,但不帶危險物品就好。因為我不是專業球評,所以比賽細節就跳過啦~最後FT 0-1以Gómez進球贏得比賽,Man of match是我廠大眼仔Özil!還有,我前面的三個北愛球迷從比賽開始就一直跳舞跳到比賽結束…

    • Day 69

      Day 69: Paris, France

      August 28, 2017 in France ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      Can't believe that it's our last official full day in Europe! It's bittersweet.

      I think Paris knew that it's cold back in Montreal so it wanted to say goodbye to us with the hottest day ever. Zoe had a headache so I went adventuring on my own for a few hours. Had the most amazing hot chocolate at Angelina's (thanks Marni) and walked down Champs Élysées again.

      When Zoe felt better, we went shopping for a bit and back to Champs Élysées for a third time and then for nice dinner at a French restaurant. Now we're all packed up and ready to wake up at 3:45 am tomorrow to make our way home. :)

    • Day 15

      A chilly day in Paris

      December 29, 2016 in France ⋅ 🌫 -1 °C

      A bit of a late start today, let the kids have a sleep in. Dave and I walked down to the bakery to pick up a baguette and croissants for breakfast. We had a bit of entertainment out our window this morning, a guy hanging in the trees giving them a trim. We headed into the city by metro, had a problem with our tickets. Kellie's was the only one to work. We found out after, Dave had put them in his mobile phone and this does something to them - it was ok in The Netherlands and Germany. Luckily they replaced them for us. We decided to go on the hop on hop off bus as this gives you a good overview of the city. Well to say the least we were frozen in our seats. Don't be fooled by the pictures of blue sky & sunshine. I saw the sun at one stage I really thought it was the moon as there was no warmth coming from it. Unbelievably cold! Dave was shivering that's how cold it was. We hopped off near the Eiffel Tower for a coffee but it was so expensive around there we just had a look around. By the way the Christmas markets are still on here. We looked at the ones at the Eiffel Tower, we had our bags checked before we could go in. It is the same under the Eiffel Tower. In 2013 we just wandered around there. We hopped back on the bus & went back into the city and eventually found a place to eat. By this time it's about 3pm. From there we went on a Seine river cruise which left at 5pm so it was just getting dark. Once again we had our bags checked. A metro ride (2) back to our apartment, on the walk home we found a butcher selling rotisserie chickens and roast potatoes, so that was tea. Along with a french red wine & a warm apartment we have thawed out.

    • Day 17

      Paris by night

      December 31, 2016 in France ⋅ 🌫 -2 °C

      We ventured out after tea, to catch our night bus tour. It doesn't start until 9.15pm, we are usually heading to bed at that time. Layered up and hopped on the open deck bus. We sit up the top, for the best photos. It is very beautiful at night and there was a heavy fog over the city that hadn't lifted all day. We froze our butts off, but stuck it out. The trip took about 2hrs. In bed by 12.30am.
