      Paris

      10 mei, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      We left the hotel in Bordeaux around 7:45, walked to the station, went through the barrier where tickets were scanned, found our seats on the upper deck of the Ouigo train, and waited, with three heavily-armed policemen outside our carriage window. The train left exactly on time and arrived in Paris 2hts 27mins later. It was a long walk to the Metro, but the Metro train came quickly, and we were at the hotel (Villa Pantheon) by 12. Within a few minutes they had a room ready, so we unpacked and then set off to nowhere in particular, but via Notre Dame, which is a 20 min walk away.

      Notre Dame is still closed for restoration, but there were crowds around it anyway. The displays down one side showed some of the salvage and restoration work, with pictures of the delicate stonework and intricate wooden trusses (some the size of houses) that will be hidden for centuries once the restoration is complete.

      Paris was very crowded, very dry and almost hot - 29deg. It was not ideal, but it had a buzz. We walked to the Place des Voges, which I loved when I saw it in 1975, then to the Louvre and its 500m long queue for tickets (no thanks), the gardens , the Seine again (they will swim in that? really??) and back up Rue St Germaine and on to the Rue des Ecoles, in the Quartier Latin, and our hotel. It is near the Sorbonne, so lots of young people (I think Anne wonders whether she is back at work), but it is also near the trail of Agnes Goodsir, my great-great-aunt. More tomorrow, but we almost went past her house on the way to the hotel in the morning: she lived at 18 Rue de l'Odeon.

      Paris may be a lovely city, but right now beset by hordes of tourists (like us...). Most of all there seem to be lots of Americans, including one kneeling to propose in the Tuileries Garden, and his new fiancee.

      We set out around 7:30 for dinner, as the air was cooler but the light still beautiful. The hotel is close to the Sorbonne, and there were young people everywhere, although the were certain cafes they flocked to, and others (touristy looking) that they avoided. Buildings along the streets often had signs saying they were the School of something-or-other, and the ground floor windows often looked in on rows of seats. We found a brasserie on the other side of the Pantheon...nice atmosphere, and pretty, quiet street.

      Art Day

      16 juni 2022, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      We had early morning tickets to see some art so after a lovely breakfast and good strong coffee we hit the bikes again and risked our lives in the Paris streets. We were 30 minutes late for our time slot but Aiden said it was very Parisian of us to be late. It didn’t matter anyway because no one even checked our tickets! (Note to self, just walk in like you belong there and save the dough!) Here’s where Daniel shined. He has read every Rick Riorden book on the planet and really knows his Greek and Roman gods. The Mona Lisa was in the new room which is nice considering the last time we were there she was in a dark hallway. I prefer the big art anyway over her. The Wedding at Cana is more my style.

      Then Saint Chappelle- I heard Daniel walk in and say “whoa!” That says it all.      Meer informatie

      Wonderful last day in Paris

      20 mei, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Last night after the flight delay, we didn’t check in to the hotel till after midnight (after walking 1.8 kms through terminal 2 to get to the little train shuttle that took us to terminal 3 where our hotel is!!) so we slept in till about 8.30 this morning, and felt very leisurely as we didn’t have to pack or check out…

      We got the RER to the city, and our first mission was to collect a watch Amr had taken when we first arrived for repair…long story, but it hadn’t come back from where it was sent…(I wonder if Amr will ever see it again..), but they were officially closed today and at first were very offhand till one person tried to be helpful…so that wasn’t a great start to the day, but then things improved greatly! The watch people said May 20 is a French holiday - they didn’t know why, and I must look it up…but anyway, Paris was surprisingly manageable, and not fighting crowds etc, which was good.

      Our next goal was to go to Chez Denise to see if we could make a reservation for dinner tonight…but when we arrived the whole entrance was blocked off with black covers..and they were filming..(we found out it was for a film about de Gaulle)…we couldn’t even enquire or go in at all…one person said she thought they would be open tonight…so that was another not so good thing, but we did keep positive about the chance of going tonight, but it was an uncertainty! Then we stopped for coffee and pastries having not had dinner last night, and only a mandarin and banana at the hotel, much needed.

      After that we had a shopping mission to Galeries Lafayette…quite a session there - the enfant floor to find something for Amr’s godson Harry’s daughter, the Mariage Freres section for Amr’s special teas, and the perfume section for Denise….After that we (I) was weak from hunger and shopping (not really my thing) and we went to a favourite cafe near the Opera and had a perfect “French” lunch of onion soup and a goat’s cheese salad and a glass of rosé. That was perfect, and we were both rejuvenated. Even enough to have a look into Uniqlo! On our way from there to the Tuileries where we planned to sit and read, Amr spotted a man carrying a TWG bag, which is a very special tea shop that he didn’t know was in Paris. So he asked the man where it was and it is a special shop in the Ritz, in their gallery of special shops!! So with heads held high we marched into the Ritz, asked where to find it and walked the hallowed halls…very beautiful, and Amr bought more tea, and also coffee at another shop!!

      After all that excitement we did go and sit and read on chairs round the pond in the Tuileries until the weather changed (which had been predicted - we even took umbrellas) so we scuttled with everyone before there was a downpour, and found a cafe where we took refuge in an upstairs hideaway, had a drink and didn’t actually notice much rain, but when we emerged there were puddles everywhere, but again we were lucky as it stopped by then and I never did use my umbrella!

      We then thought we’d try our luck with Chez Denise, found it open - or not open, but people there and all the film covers gone, and made a booking for 7.30…a wait of about 45 minutes..so we wandered in the Forum Les Halle’s which is now an enormous Westfield mall and rather ghastly, but we discovered we could pick up the RER back to CDG from there - the dread Chatelet/Les Halles metro and RER interchange which we have many times got lost in - but it looked straightforward- and after dinner we tried it and it worked and we were expressed back to the hotel.

      To fill in more time till 7.30 we looked into the enormous church we always see near there - St Eustache…it is huge, and beautiful, and we managed to see and admire before it closed for the day. Then we went back to Chez Denise and had, as usual, a wonderful meal. You always get chatting to your neighbours as you are so close, and we had 2 Frenchmen next to us, then at their table a young couple from HongKong were seated next to them…so they were delighted to have Australia on one side and HongKong on the other, and very good ambiance. We had the chef’s terrine and the kidneys (they are big servings and we now know to share) and I had to have their enormous ile flottante!! I have to add that I don’t have my phone with me so Amr is in charge of the pics and will not wait till you are posed and smiling…)

      Anyway, a lovely end to the day, now back and semi packed ready to start the big flights home tomorrow morning.      Meer informatie

      Last day in Paris

      15 mei, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

      We had a beautiful last day in Paris! We started off at the Lourve followed by a walk through Montmartre. We had lunch at Cafe Des deux Moulins which is famous for the movie Amélie. We then walked up to Rue de L’Abreuvoir which was as beautiful as promised. Next we went to the Basilica of Sacré-Couer de Montmartre and walked back down to the Moulin Rouge. By then we were exhausted so we grabbed a bottle of real Champagne and relaxed at the hotel (after our free happy hour drink of course!)Meer informatie

      Paris Day 2

      14 mei, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      Tuesday was very rainy day which limited us a bit. We attempted to visit Musée d’Orsay, but there was an hour wait (in the rain) so we decided to grab some croque monsieur to go and head over to the Catacombs of Paris. This was a real highlight of the trip! After the catacombs we were hungry so we headed over to the famous Cafe de Flore for some delicious salads. In the afternoon we walked around Notre Dame and visited the mahJ (Musuem of Jewish art and history) before a Moroccan dinner!Meer informatie

      Paris Day 1

      13 mei, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

      After a very late night with a delayed flight and waiting for a cab for 45 minutes we slept in today! We’re staying at the Hyatt Paris Madeleine which is right in the heart of Paris so we saw a lot today already! Lunch was at a cute cafe called Le Ponthieu. We walked along the Seine (a lot) and saw the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Grand Palais, and Parc Monceau before taking a rest. We walked down to our last Michelin starred meal at Tomy & Co (we had pigeon!!) followed by a stroll under the Eiffel Tower.Meer informatie

      ❤️

      Eines Tages, Baby, werden wir alt sein. Oli 👶 Baby, werden wir alt sein
      und an all die Geschichten denken, die wir erleben werden.

      Also lass uns Geschichten schreiben,
      die wir später gern erzählen.
      Lass uns nachts lange wach bleiben,
      auf´s höchste Hausdach der Stadt steigen,
      lachend und vom Takt frei die allertollsten Lieder singen.
      Lass uns Feste wie Konfetti schmeißen,
      sehen, wie sie zu Boden reisen
      und die gefallenen Feste feiern,
      bis die Wolken wieder lila sind.
      Und lass mal an uns selber glauben,
      ist mir egal, ob das verrückt ist,
      und wer genau guckt, sieht,
      dass Mut auch bloß ein Anagramm von Glück ist.
      Und – wer immer wir auch waren –
      lass mal werden wer wir sein wollen.
      Wir haben schon viel zu lang gewartet,
      lass mal Dopamin vergeuden.

      „Der Sinn des Lebens ist leben“,
      das hat schon Casper gesagt,
      „let´s make the most of the night“,
      das hat schon Kesha gesagt.
      Lass uns möglichst viele Fehler machen,
      und möglichst viel aus ihnen lernen.
      Lass uns jetzt schon Gutes sähen,
      dass wir später Gutes ernten.
      Lass uns alles tun,
      weil wir können – und nicht müssen.
      Weil jetzt sind wir jung und lebendig,
      und das soll ruhig jeder wissen,
      und – unsere Zeit die geht vorbei.
      Das wird sowieso passieren
      und bis dahin sind wir frei
      und es gibt nichts zu verlieren.

      Lass uns uns mal demaskieren
      und dann sehen, wir sind die Gleichen,
      und dann können wir uns ruhig sagen,
      dass wir uns viel bedeuten,
      denn das Leben, das wir führen wollen,
      das können wir selber wählen.

      Also los, schreiben wir Geschichten,
      die wir später gern erzählen. Und eines Tages, Baby, werden wir alt sein. 😆
      Oli 👶☝️ Baby, werden wir alt sein und an all die Geschichten denken, die für immer unsere sind.

      Einkaufen mit Oli :)

      18 september 2019, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Die Vorräte gehen zu Ende und Oli packt fleißig mit an 😜 ...der Einkaufszettel ist aber dennoch klein, da die Lebensmittel wirklich preisintensiv in Frankreich, und sowieso in Paris, sind.

      Nun denn, Obst, Gemüse, Wasser, Käse und natürlich das obligatorische Baguette sind auf jeden Fall dabei 😆 ...Meer informatie

      We are on the TGV to Bayonne. Travelling at 186 MpH! Update, the train seems to have peaked at 198 Mph!

      We made 3 Camino friends in the train station, people seeking out fellow travelers in backpacks.

      Fran, a woman from Rockville Maryland. She is meeting a friend in Saint Jean.

      And Kevin & Patsy from Portland ME. Kevin is a recently retired Firefighter from Auburn ME. Kevin told me Malden Firefighters let him park at the station in Malden whenever he goes into Boston on the Orange line!      Meer informatie

      Pt. 3 of Paris

      30 mei 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 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.      Meer informatie
