      Day 3 Celebrating my birthday

      26. mai, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Woke to lots of lovely messages from home for my birthday and a sweet card from Janet and Chris. Another cool start to the day with glimpses of sunshine, 15 degrees to great walking weather.
      We decided to walk to Roland Garros and see how far it was from our apartment. Breakfast was first stop at a cafe with outdoor seating. Shame about the smokers and vapers. Despite this we enjoyed our platters of orange juice, coffee, croissant and a piece of baguette with jam. At the same time we marvelled at the traffic and how the roundabout was negotiated by cars, bikes, trucks and pedestrains.
      Continuing down rue Victor Hugo we made it to Roland Garros. Tight security with areas cordoned off and long lines to get in. Discovered we need to be around the other side for our night ticket entry but our side for our day ticket which was good to know.
      Heading home we stopped for a Panochet, shandy at home. Lunch and started watching the tennis on TV.
      Snoozes all round in readiness for the Moulin Rouge.
      On approach the outside was just how I remembered it from years ago. Sadly the windmill is not there. The path into the Moulin Rouge was lined with beautiful mosaic tiles showing the iconic windmill. Our table was close to the front and shared with another a group of Australians!! Champagne flowed as the cabaret style band played dinner music and sung. We had a yummy 3 course dinner, starting with prawns, then salmon with a red rice risotto and dessert was a mandarin jasmin tea ganache with crunchy rhubarb and almond crumble.
      The show went for 1.5 hours and was incredible. The combination of dancing and circus acts were amazing as was the iconic Can Can. It lived up to expectation and more. The costumes, music, choreography and dancing was entertaining and well performed. Lots of smiles, thrusting, gyrating and energetic dancing right up close and personal. To quote Chris, 'not a pimple in sight'!! Oh to be so fit and flexible.
      The end of a great day of birthday celebrations.      Les mer

      Day 1

      24. mai, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      We made it!
      BA 16 via Singapore to Heathrow and on to Paris. A long flight but I got some sleep using my fabulous travel pillow.
      Our apartment A801 22 ave Pierre Lefaucheux Boulogne Billancourt overlooks the Seine and Parc de Billancourt. There is a football field, exercise area and lots of green with paths.
      We had a well earned Italian lunch next door then went for a walk. The aim was to find the Metro and we discovered you can't use your credit card and weekly tickets start on a Monday!!
      The sun has been out all day and just like home, it has got warmer as the afternoon went on. Writing this on the verandah listening to the children in the park.
      Early bed time for everyone tonight.      Les mer

      Day 2

      25. mai, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Woke after a good night sleep to a cool morning and the sun shining. In the Parc de Billancourt across the road Saturday soccer was in full swing just like at home. After a slow start, we walked into Boulogne Billacourt for a coffee and look around. We sat outside in the sun with the locals and their dogs enjoying P'tite Faim, a coffee, croissant and a fresh orange juice.
      At 2pm we caught an Uber to meet Bill O'Reagan for lunch at Cafe du Commerce, a favourite of his and Mary's and very popular with the locals. The streets were busy, shops open and the cafes full of people. On the way we saw the Eiffel Tower, our first real glimpse of Paris!!
      Lunch was great fun, lots of laughs, chatter and stories. The food was amazing as was the wine Bill chose. The desserts were incredible, especially mine. The waiters brought it out last with a sparkler and sang 'Bonne Anniversaire' which was a lovely surprise. It was great to see Bill in Paris. He is so at home here, smiling, chatting to the waiters and enjoying himself. 3 hours later we left lunch and wandered Rue du Commerce while I bought a black pair of jeans. Hugs all round and we went home.
      The other excitement for the day was Fred Stolle messaging us with Wimbledon tickets for Wednesday of the first week!!      Les mer

      Day 4

      27. mai, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      After a late night from Moulin Rouge, we had a quiet morning washing and planning our next few days, in particular how to get to Monet's garden in Giverny tomorrow!
      Cooler today and overcast. The cranes across the road were up and running today as were the military helicopters doing low altitude exercises along the Seine.
      The need for a good coffee finally got us moving. We walked in a different direction today along the Seine. A totally different part of Paris. With supplies from the Carrefours the local supermarket and a bottle of gin we went to find lunch. The rain had started so we stopped at the first restaurant we saw. Yummy food and great coffee.
      With happy tummies and the rain stopped, we headed home to watch Rafael Nadal play in potentially his last match at Roland Garros. He played well but Zverev was the better player and beat him in 3 sets. Both were very gracious in their post match interviews. We witnessed the end of an era!!      Les mer

      Pt. 3 of Paris

      30. mai 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Part 3 Paris photos!

      -The stairwell in our hotel
      -Our breakfast buffet (and fresh squeezed apple juice... I had 3 glasses.)
      -I found out that there was a train gate named after the Queer icon, Josephine Baker, just down the street so we visited (yes... I had to buy tickets just for this picture lol).
      -We went to the Catacombs and it was way more intense than I was expecting. Pictures to follow....
      -The RER we are on has cherubs on the roof.
      -Enjoy this video of the way the hallways are laid out in the hotel we stayed at and how the lights are at each door for you to turn on the lights in the hallways.
      -I have determined that everyone in Europe can either juggle, play the accordion, or both. I have yet to see someone do it simultaneously though. This was fantastic entertainment.      Les mer

      Auf den Spuren von Amélie

      3. oktober 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Nachdem wir uns, zumindest räumlich, erst einmal Mbappé und dem Parc des Princes genähert haben, ging es dann ins schöne Viertel von Montmartre, wo wir auf den Spuren von Amélies fabelhafter Welt wandelten. Krönender Abschluss war die Basilika vom Heiligsten Herzen in Montmartre, besser bekannt als Basilika Sacré-Cœur. Der Bau der Kirche begann übrigens erst 1875, fertiggestellt wurde Sacré-Cœur 1914.
      Zwar sind viele Straßen und Plätze von Touristen überfüllt, aber es gibt auch kleine, von Streetart gesäumte, Straßen und Gassen. Dort macht ein Bummel durch Paris deutlich mehr Freude.      Les mer

      Bike tour around Paris

      8. april, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Bike tour around Paris was amazing. Best way to see the city and get some history of some of the big sites around the French revolution. 4 hour bike trip and around 14km. The tour group had 2 people from Seattle.

      Long walk back to the hotel after lunch at an Italian restaurant.

      Small dinner at a restaurant behind the hotel. Big Day of walking and bike riding. Kids did well to do all the activities.      Les mer

      Sightseeing 1

      8. juni 2019, Frankrike ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

      Notre Dame - der meist besuchte Ort in Paris. Nach dem Brand, teils eingepackt von Gerüstgittern und großflächig abgesperrt. Dann gehts zu Fuß weiter über die Brücke - Ponte des Artes in Richtung Louvre. Von dort fahren wir mit der Metro ins Viertel - Montmatre. Als wir bei der Metro Station Château-Rouge aussteigen, haben wir das Gefühl mitten in Afrika zu sein (Wir sind fast die einzigen Weißen weit und breit). Weiter geht's zur berühmten Basilika Sacré-Cœur. Einfach wunderschön, trotz der vielen Leute. Für unser spätes Mittagessen finden wir dann ums Eck gleich ein feines Restaurant, und das Beste, der zweite Teil des gestrigen Tennis-Match läuft und wir dürfen miterleben wie Thiem, Jokovic schlägt und somit ins Finale einzieht. Super! Nach einem kleinen Rundgang durch Montmarte, zieht es uns noch für einen glutenfreien Lemon Tarte zu Hemlut Newcake. Zum Abschluss genießen wir noch den tollen Ausblick auf den Arc de Triumph von der Champs-Élysées aus. Au revoir Paris!Les mer

      Roland Garros - French open

      7. juni 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Heute ist unser Tennis-Tag. Nach einem feinen Brunch machen wir uns auf ins Stade Roland Garros. Nach den Blicken auf einige Outside- Courts, dürfen wir zu unserer Überraschung den letzten Part des Halbfinales der Damen (Barty-Anisimova) gratis ansehen. Danke das war toll! Das erste Halbfinale der Männer verfolgen wir dann auf den großen Screens, bevor es ernst wird und wir endlich im Court Philippe-Chatrier Platz nehmen können. 1h 28 min. durften wir das Duell zw. Djokovic / Thiem genießen, bis es dann leider für diesen Tag, wegen schlechtem Wetter unterbrochen werden musste. Am nächsten Tag, da unsere Karten nur für diesen Tag Gültigkeit hatten, haben wir den restlichen Teil des Spiels im Restaurante am Montemartre verfolgt. Thiem
      siegte in 5 Sätzen 👏.      Les mer
