      Day 9

      Ultimo dia en 📍Paris

      May 29, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Y llego el último día en Paris 💔! Salimos temprano, con el abuelo, a dar una vueltita y comprar unas cosas de pastelería para llevar al departamento!
      Buscamos a la abuela, y en subte 🚉, nos dirigimos hacia Saint André, donde comimos y paseamos un rato.
      Se empezó a hacer tarde ⏰ 🌅así que nos volvimos a la casa y empezamos a hacer las valijas 🧳
      Antes de cenar, con el abuelo salimos a dar un último paseo x las calles cercanas 🏘️. Después de comer nos fuimos a ver la torre iluminada como despedida de este hermoso lugar 🫶🏻🫶🏻      Read more

      Paris - ein Abend in Marais

      July 30, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Nachdem wir entschieden haben, nicht in die Hauptstadt mit dem Womo zu fahren um dort zu nächtigen, stehen wir nun auf dem Stellplatz am Disneyland ca. 1 Zugstunde außerhalb von Paris. Für einen kurzen Abstecher mussten wir aber trotzdem schon mal Parisluft schnuppern und so fuhren wir ins Stadtteil Marais. Unterwegs trafen wir noch ein paar Altenburger: Meli und Leni … zurück am Stellplatz: 0:50 Uhr 🥱 Guts NächtleRead more

      Paris

      July 23, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

      We visited the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont (St Stephen of the Mountain) and the Panthéon (designed initially as a church to honour Saint Geneviève, the patron of Paris). Next, we went to Holy Mass at the Irish College and walked to Notre Dame to see the outside and have lunch. We finished the day with a mini river cruise on the Seine past the Eiffel Tower.Read more

      Latinska četrt

      September 5, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Medtem ko se Nastja vpisuje na fakulteto, mi raziskujemo Latinsko četrt, ki bo njeno okolje za naslednjih 9 mesecev. Pantheon je izjemna stavba, najbolj nepričakovan pa je sistem katakomb pod celotno stavbo. Tu imajo zadnje počivališče pomembni in vplivni Francozi... Od Emila Zola do Marie Curie.
      Okoli Pantheona pa luštne uličice in čudovit Luksemburški park.      Read more

      La Table de Colette

      September 16, 2022 in France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      We had planned to have lunch at MUMI today - I had done some research on good Parisian restaurants and MUMI had ticked all the boxes, including consistently excellent reviews. However, a couple of days ago I received an email from them saying that they had to cancel our booking as they had had a fire in the kitchen and had to close for several weeks - bummer!

      Luckily, I had kept my notes for a number of restaurants I had researched and La Table de Colette was second on my list and we were able to secure a table for lunch. And, what a lunch it was. The staff, the ambiance, the wine and the food were all top notch. The staff have a real pride in what they create and love to see the joy the customers experience when eating their food.

      There isn’t a menu - you just decide if you are having 3, 5 or 7 courses and if you want the matching wines. We went for 3 courses and Ian chose the wine. You start off with an amuse bouche, which was three wonderful morsels that were each divine - oyster leaf on a rice cracker with a scallion mayonnaise, a small piece of fish, again with a divine sauce, on a delicate cracker and finally roasted and dried beetroot with an horseradish cream.

      Ian selected the wine which was fabulous, a 2017 Grand Cru Gewurztraminer from Alsace by François SCHMITT which went perfectly with the meal.

      First course was a green tomato served with gazpacho and stuffed with deep fried pearl cous cous and other stuff - divine. Second course was zucchini served two ways with a deep fried oyster and an amazingly intense sauce - Ian had his first oyster which he appeared to enjoy. Third course was an ode to Chocolate, a cremaux, a crumb, a sauce, a crisp and more, so much more. The dessert was divine. In fact the whole meal was one I have to rate in my top five food experiences. We also had the best coffee we have had so far in Paris and it was served with delicious petite fours.

      After lunch I ventured to the open kitchen to congratulate the young team of talented chefs and got a tour of the kitchen - very memorable indeed.      Read more

      Paris in the sunshine

      Yesterday in France ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Got up super early, to shower, pack and make sure I left the flat clean. I looked a bit like a donkey, with all my bags - one tote on each shoulder (plus my cross-body handbag) and then the VERY full backpack holding them on. Waled to the train station and got there in time. No problem with the train, and I love how they tell you where to stand (happens a bit now with UK trains, too) for your carriage.

      I had a window non-table seat, which was so much easier than the route up. I could get easy access to everything I needed and wasn't cramped and the TGV fold down tables are massive, so I was able to set up my laptop and connect to the WiFi and get a chunk of work done. And I finished and sent something out before the battery ran out. Then sat and enjoyed watching the views out the window and reading my book a bit.

      Easily found the hotel (a different Ibis, this time, by the Gare de Lyon). And did a few bits of work then went and wandered. I walked down to the Seine and then walked along a lovely bit where there lots of plants and statues in little bits by the river where people were dancing (there was one bit where were dancing salsa and another where people were dancing go 1950s music, I think.

      Did some more wandering. Took photos of lots of doors. Sat and had a beer and read my book and a bit later I stopped for a meal - goats cheese salad and fries, which was quite nice. And then wandered slowly back to the hotel. There's a whole bunch of interesting little galleries and funky shops under some what look like railway arches and I noticed trees and plants above, and it turns out to be a green walkway, so I'm hoping to have a little walk up there tomorrow before my train.

      Ans so... almost home. This time tomorrow I will be.      Read more

      Tour de France @Paris part deux 😜

      July 30, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Nochmal kurz quer durch Paris, um letzte Souvenirs zu kaufen, den Louvre, die Champs-Elysees, den Toure Eiffel und vieles mehr zu verabschieden, letzte Fotos zu machen und den Füßen zu zeigen wo das Tageslimit ist 😂😂😂

      Von der Piratenflagge am Boot inspiriert, musste dann auch noch passend im Weingummiladen aus Fässern genascht werden...und auch der letzte Einkauf war ein kleiner Schatz. 😉

      Und nach einem letzten Café dann ab zum nächsten Ziel - 4:20min bis Luxembourg - bonne voyage!✌️!      Read more

      In a Paris cafe eating onion soup!

      August 18, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      So thankful to arrive at Charles De Gaulle at 3.00PM. Baggage took a while. Our transfer taxi was lovely.

      Overcast and a humid 23 degrees in Paris today. Our hotel is Le M Saint Germain.
      The room is perfect and the first thing I see is a balcony, my favourite thing in any hotel. I step out amongst the zinc roofs and look out onto those fabulous sandstone buildings. Am very thankful. Paris is gorgeous.

      Athena spies a lovely gift from Amanda (our travel agent, such a blessing, go see her at Berwick Travel) Colourful French macaroons. They were great with a tea, thanks Amanda.

      After a much needed shower and mobile charge, we head out for a stroll towards the Seine.

      I spy the Pantheon at the end of our street so we head up that way. I discover we are walking the wrong direction, whoops 🤭 The Notre Dame is the other way!! We stroll past beautiful cafes full of diners and head back for the river. The streets are full of tourists.
      The Notre Dame is closed off and we see the fire damage and works being done. Grateful that we had both already visited inside four years ago. We were shocked when we heard the news.

      We walk up to Saint Chappel church and Athena looks longingly at a beautiful restaurant. So, we take a table, order onion soup and a 'chardy' and settle in.
      Half way through dinner, I realise that, this is it! Sitting outside a beautiful Paris cafe, watching people walk by, drinking wine with my beautiful friend! This was my absolute wish for my birthday.
      Dream big I say, with some effort, they come true!      Read more

      Paris - a lifelong dream

      April 30 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      We left our 16th century hotel in Bruge this morning and got an Uber to the train station. We travelled to Brussels then on to Paris

      As soon we walked out of the train station we were in love!! The buildings, the French signs, gorgeous flowers on loads of restaurants, the language, oooooh la la!!

      The traffic was INSANE but we arrived at our hotel and checked in. The location is fabulous.

      We decided to meander over to the Eiffel Tower, window shopping as we walked. A quick lunch stop with some delectable French cuisine and then we arrived.

      We rounded our last corner and there she was; absolutely stunning and surrounded by so much greenery. It was so overwhelming and there may have been a few tears. I can't believe i am here!

      Whilst awaiting our time to go to the summit, we sat at a cafe and enjoyed a French Kiss. Then Julie, Di and I headed over to the tower and took even more photos before it was finally our turn to take the lift up the very top.

      We were incredibly lucky to dodge the rain and were just mesmerised by the sight of Paris from above. With twinkling lights as far as we could see, the views were simply magic. We spotted The Arc de Triomph, Seine River, Pantheon and so much more.

      Bucket list items are being ticked off at a rate of knots!! This is a day I will never forget, and I am truly grateful to be here with my very best friends 💛      Read more
