Day 4
Schlechter start mit....
October 25, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
grandiosem Ende 🥰😁

Heute war Museum angesagt. Louvre stand auf dem Zettel.

Leider gab es größere Schwierigkeiten 😤beim Einlass. Unser 14:30 Uhr Ticket🎫 wäre dann ein 16 vieleicht 17 Uhr Ticket geworden.

Das ganze bei leichten Regen☔️...Nein Danke.

Wir haben uns nach einigen Minuten⌚️ gegen das Warten entschieden und haben an der Stelle die Tickets gegen eine Flussfahrt ⛴️ auf der Seine getauscht.

Mit dem nächsten Mietroller 🛵 ging es zur Anlegestelle und ab auf dem Dampfer 🛥. Kaum dort angekommen kam die Sonne ⛅️durch und trocknete unsere Sachen und die Frustgetränkte Seele.

Vorbei an all den schönen Gebäuden🏙, Parks 🏞, Haussbooten und durch zahllose Brücken🌉 tuckerten wir auf dem Wasser 🌊 herum.

Ein Eis🍦 ließ den Ärger dann ganz verschwinden und mir kam eine Idee.

Amy schwärmte am Eifelturm 🗼von all den Straßenkünstlern 🛣👨‍🎨🎨die Karikaturen anbieten.

Also einen 1️⃣5️⃣ Minuten Spaziergang und schon waren wir da. Die Überraschung💥 war geglückt und nach etwas Wartezeit waren wir an der Reihe. Das war ein Spaß!🤗

Danach eine kleine Shoppingtour👗👚🥻 durch die Einkaufszentren von Paris.

Abendessen🍴noch einmal Glitzertürmchen bestaunen. Mit dem Roller🛵 zurück ins Hotel 🏨für einen gemeinsamen Abend bei Netflix 📺und "Mc Donald-Snacks".😅

Grandioser Tag mit sehr viel Lachen🥰Read more

Day 2
Notre Dame
April 28, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Heute morgen ging es zum Frühstück zu einem kleinen Café in der Nähe, wir hatten ein typisches französisches Frühstück bis auf den café dafür gabs für uns Tee😅 wir hatten Croissant, Orangensaft oder smoothie und haben gemütlich gefrühstückt.
Anschließend sind wir Richtung Notre Dame gelaufen, waren knapp 40 min. Da wir gestärkt vom Frühstück waren ging der Weg von der Entfernung. Heute wollen wir die 20.000 Schritte knacken 😂

Notre Dame war beeindruckend aber auch traurig zugleich, die Bauarbeiten waren in vollem Gange und hoffentlich sind sie bald fertig mit den Arbeiten.Read more

Day 185
Paris - erste Impressionen
May 10, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Die folgenden Tage arbeitete Hanni fleißig an seinem Paper, weshalb abgesehen von kleinen Spaziergängen und kurzen Einkäufen nichts nennenswertes passierte. Dafür fuhren wir dann am frühen Morgen des Mittwoches für circa 2 Stunden mit dem Zug nach Paris, wo wir mit Ali und Sam (2 Amerikaner, die wir in Kroatien kennengelernt hatten) verabredet waren. Paris begrüßte uns mit strömendem Regen, der nach wenigen Minuten für Hochwasser in unseren Schuhen sorgte. Also zogen wir uns zu viert in ein Café zurück und genossen heiße Getränke und unsere Gesellschaft, bis sich die dunkelsten Wolken verzogen hatten und langsam aber sicher die Sonne sich vorkämpfte. Leider kam dann schon der langfristige Abschied, da die beiden am Freitag zurück nach Amerika flogen - aber Nummern und Herzen sind ausgetauscht und wir sind überzeugt, dass wir den Kontakt halten werden. Den Rest des Tages sammelten wir zu zweit gefühlt 30.000 Schritte und spazierten durch den Kern von Paris, wo wir uns einen ersten vielversprechenden Eindruck von der Stadt einholten. Scheinbar befinden wir uns in einem guten Zeitraum, die Stadt ohne zu große Touristenmassen kennenzulernen, weshalb wir die nächsten Wochen wiederholt wiederkommen wollen.Read more

Day 8
Le Louvre et Notre Dame
April 6, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We started the day taking Charlie, Sam and Teddy to their respective schools. None of the boys were happy to say goodbye, however there'd be plenty of time to come, to kick the ball with the cousins. We wandered down to the Siene and a rather heated match of soccer ensued in an upside down boat. Of course.

As we continued our walk, Richard was most informative, giving information on the regions we were walking through, the buildings we were passing and the history of the city. We happened upon the Notre Dame, and Sarah and I recreated a photo that we took some 18 years prior. I don't think either of us had changed in all that time... much.

The Louvre was next, as the boys had to see the Mona Lisa. We had a tip from Richard's mate at Le Peleton Cafe on where to go to skip the 2 hour queues to get in. Within 20 minutes of arriving we were inside and walking the halls. We viewed the Venus de Milo, before making our way to see the main attraction. We spent 2 minutes in the room, and the attitude from the boys was best summed up by Jack's reaction: "Meh."

We wandered through for the next few hours and found the rooms, art, historical artefacts most interesting.

On our way home I saw that a friend of mine, Michael was also in Paris. We hastily arranged a catch up and Sarah and I were able to leave the boys at home and head out for a nice beer at a cafe.

Richard had also received an invitation from a friend to his restaurant for a supper club. Elise was not feeling 100% so I was fortunate enough to stand in. A wonderful degustation menu met us in a wonderful location, overlooking Jardin du Palais Royal.Read more

Day 1
Sightseeing
April 28, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
When we got our energy back it was time to see the sights!
15 minutes from our hotel (Novotel) was the mighty Eiffel Tower.
The weather was grey when we first arrived but the sun soon came out just in time for the Big Bus Tours, we saw lots of historic places like Notre Dame and Rue Galande,
We even drove past a Disney store, the bus had different stops so you could hop on and off so of course I went to the store and got a Steamboat Mickey and Minnie and a big key.
I also got some Paris magnets for a couple of friends and a mini Eiffel for my travel shelf.Read more

Walked to the beautifully eerie Notre Dame, eat some delicious meringues and shopped! I think we were in the artsy district. The sun was shining and there nice breeze and some sprinkles but it was a fabulous day!Read more

Day 4
Una lunga passeggiata
August 15, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Dopo un pranzo veloce e un giro ai giardini, ci siamo dirette verso notre dame. Eravamo consapevoli che era chiuso a causa dell'incendio, ma almeno era possibile guardarlo da fuori. Un peccato non averlo visto anche dall'interno ma ci si accontenta. Dopo aver fatto un piccolo giro attorno alla cattedrale, ci siamo dirette verso i quartieri latini. Volevo andare in un negozio di te per prenderne qualcuno per i miei, ma purtroppo l'ho trovato chiuso 🥲 spero di avere più fortuna la prossima volta. Nel frattempo ci siamo prese anche un gelato da amorino, io l'ho preso alla stracciatella e al cioccolato con sopra un macaron al caramello, era buonissimo 🥰il bello è che era a forma di rosa, ma è durato poco 😂 ed è stato uno degli unici coni che aveva il gelato fino alla fine e meno male direi, visto quanto mi è costato 😂 dopodiché siamo arrivate fino alla libreria di Shakespeare, ma per nostra sfortuna era chiusa anche quella 🥲 che fosse per ferragosto? 🥲 L'ultima piccola gioia è stata la crepe francese, l'ho presa alla Nutella e al Kinder maxi, buonissima 🥰Read more

Notre Dame

Headed over to Notre Dame.

It was a lot bigger than I thought it was, it was beautiful but also sad to see it burnt in places.

We went for lunch and had French onion soup, pasta, pizzas, some had steak and fries, we also tried escargot (except Kez)

Had some champagne, pastries and macaroon’s which were sooooo yummyRead more

Day 21
Toot Bus
July 27, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
We had originally booked a five-hour walking tour of Paris, however our guide broke their wrist earlier in the week and we couldn't reschedule. So our alternate plan was a Hop on Hop off bus trip. This was a blessing in disguise as it rained heavily (as opposed to showers) for most of the afternoon and a walk would not have been much fun, especially as we had forgotten our cheap brollies).

Whilst the rain damped things, we were still able to visit Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, The Champs Elysee and the Eiffel Tower.Read more

Day 2
Notre-Dame and City Island
May 30, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Notre-Dame is one of the finest French Gothic architectures with its stunning rib vault, flying buttress, rose windows, sculptural decorations, three pile organs, and immense church bells.

The story of Notre-Dame's bellringer Quasimodo and beautiful Esmeralda from Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame inspired my interest in Notre-Dame since I was young. Many historic events took place here, including the coronation of Napoleon I in 1804 and the celebration of the Liberation of Paris during WWII.

The heartbreaking 2019 fire started in the attic of Notre-Dame had destroyed the fleche and roof. It’s hard to believe today in the 21st century, the Cathedral staff made a mistake not to call the fire department in time when smoke detector signaled the fire. And according to the latest news Notre-Dame will not re-open in time for the Olympic Paris 2024.

The City Island (Île de la Cité) is full of historic spots. Sainte-Chapelle, Palace of Justice, and Clock Tower are all here. The Conciergerie, once the fortress and royal palace, had imprisoned, tried, and sentenced 2,780 prisoners, including Marie Antoinette, during the French Revolution.Read more
