Ile de la Cite
4. toukokuuta 2022, Ranska ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We had an exhausting day today - the adrenaline couldn’t hold the jet lag back any longer. But what a beautiful city Paris is!

We’ve mastered the metro and are getting around pretty easily. (Adam would be proud). We headed to Ile de La Cite (a small island) and saw Notre Dame (the outside as it’s still being repaired from the fire in 2019), St Chapelle Cathedral, The Conciergerie (prison where Marie Antoinette was held), the Luxembourg Palace & gardens and finished it up with Musee d’Orsay. (Impressionist museum built in an old train station). It was a full day seeing places I’ve only seen on TV or in the movies. Crazy.

Paris’s public water is some of the best in the world. It is natural spring water that is piped in everywhere. We saw a documentary on it at home. Jordan found one of the fountains. Have to say, it DID taste better!

We went back to fall asleep early at 8:00 but we’re so messed up our bodies won’t let us fall asleep (probably because in our heads it’s only noon). Oh well, I’m sure we’ll adjust eventually!Lue lisää

Matkaaja So cool! Being a tourist in big cities can be exhausting for sure. very surreal feeling to see things in person that you never imagined you would see. Glad you are getting to experience it.

Jam packed day!! We visited the extraordinary sainte chapel. Glorious glass windows!! Saw the outside of Notre Dame and The Louvre. Did a little too much souvenir shopping… as usual. Ended the day with a dinner cruise on the Seine River and a close look at the Eiffel Tower:)Lue lisää

The Lady and the Unicorn
19. elokuuta 2019, Ranska ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Woke at 5.00am, so not too bad. Breaky in hotel. The bread is devine. Salami and cheeses.

Off to Musee du Cluny to see the medieval tapestries The Lady and The Unicorn. They depict the 5 senses along with desire. Massive red and dark wall hangings filled with millefleur and forest animals. Loved this so much. Read the novel and it's Harry Potters common room. So beautiful. The lighting is dark to keep from fading.

We get to the museum just at opening time, bonus.
The first room we enter is an old bath house. Massive empty room with a few statues and items from the era. A copper bathtub sits at one end. Loved this room. Next we check out a room full of jewellery and medieval artwork. I come across a golden rose. It looks to be important, so I take a photo. I may sit still one day and learn about it. But not now.

We look at other tapestries leaving the best til last.
Then we enter 'The' room. It is quiet, dark, black with a crimson glow from these magnificent tapestries.
I am beguiled and take my time to investigate each one.

Loving this so much. Finding treasures that you never think you will ever see. Then here you are in front of them. Always blows me away.
I love this because it is like time travel.
I imagine the pressure and artistry it takes.

The intricate flowers are devine. The bunnies and birds whimsical.

Even Athena says she really enjoyed seeing them.

Bucket list tick ✅Lue lisää

Matkaaja Hey, I really have to learn not to hit that 'Enter' button before I have finished speaking! Love it all. It is so FRENCH. Wonderful walking ( even the wrong way ... sometimes the best things happen when you do that.) wonderful Lady and The Unicorn. Wonderful place to eat and drink. Great first day in Paris. Have a ball, ladies. OK ..... now .... 'Enter'.

Paris ; the city of looove
27. kesäkuuta 2023, Ranska ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Arrived in Paris - not gonna lie, it's kind of overhyped.

The amount of homeless people is outstanding and it smells. But nonetheless, we ventured on and did a boat cruise of the main views along the Seine River 🛥Lue lisää

Sainte-Chapelle
6. syyskuuta 2023, Ranska ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Toured this chapel on the same island as Notre Dame. Commissioned by Louis IX 1242>1248 to house the relics of passion. The stained glass is 70% original and covers a total of 6,889 sq ft., each window is 51 ft x 44ft depicting 1,113 scenes from the Bible read from left to right, bottom to top, in S path (see the Last Supper close up) over the alter in #8 " Christ's Passion" . Get this, all scenes were drawn to scale, glass was made in bulk, cut to size and mounted, not bad for 13th century...easy job🫣. The rose window The Apocalypse of St. John is 29ft in diameter and faces west-and the setting sun, a symbol of the end of time.Lue lisää

Saint Chapelle
19. elokuuta 2019, Ranska ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Lots of young hot gendarme around. Bit distracting to Athena and I !!

Saint Chapelle sits opposite Notre Dame. We walk up the winding staircase and I turn to watch Athena's face as we enter the chapel room. Oh wow she exclaims.
Inside the cathedral walls are all devine, set in stained coloured glass columns. Such a pretty thing to behold. Breathtaking and peaceful.

Although it was packed we didn't feel squashed. Whenever the din got loud, a voice over the loud speaker all told us to hush please in French.

On our exit we passed down the tight spiral staircase worn slippery smooth over time. Athena became quite petrified making her way downward on the steeped steps. She regained her composure once out in the courtyard faced with the handsome, tight bummed youthful gendarmes.Lue lisää

Athena's Last Night in Paris
21. elokuuta 2019, Ranska ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
Hi Athena here, just letting you know about our last night in Paris.

It all started with us chilling in our hotel room & me falling asleep. Sandra finally waking me up as it was 8pm &, we needed to start getting ready for our cruise where we had no idea on what time it was leaving & where it was leaving from & we had purchased no tix. As you can tell, our organisation was non existent. I said to Sandra, OK start getting ready, she responds with I'm ready.... I thought hmmmm, I asked her whether she's wearing what she had on, she said yea why?,i said don't you want to get dressed up for our last day in Paris & the cruise..... Sandra agreed in putting something other than what we call her comfy dress. Well she wore a beautiful dress 👗 and she looks awesome.

We headed out & realised that the ferry doesn't depart from Notre-Dame & that it actually depends from the eiffel 🗼. So we went on line to purchase tix just to realise that there were no seats available!!!!!. Oh well by this time it was 9.30pm & I was starving for my onion soup for the fourth night in a row.

The first night we arrived in Paris we had dinner at a beautiful restaurant 🍴 & the food and service was outstanding so we decided to head back & make our last night a nice one.

As soon as the waiter saw us his eyes 👀 lit up & we found ourselves having e waiter's looking after us.

Hi Sandra back again... We enjoyed our soup, I got drunk and we walked back, whilst I became all philosophical about what love really should look like.Lue lisää

Pause im Café Benjamin
22. elokuuta 2023, Ranska ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Unsere heutige Pause führt uns ins Café Benjamin.
Wir sind ganz begeistert von dem Kellner, der irgendwie ganz besonders ist. Er gibt uns Shoppingtipps, empfiehlt Restaurants und schreibt uns all das persönlich auf einen Zettel. Nun haben wir eine ToDo-Liste für jetzt oder ein nächstes Mal. Wir mögen ihn und das ganze wird umrahmt von Leckereien.

Im Café wechselt Mathilda gleich ihr Outfit. Die neu erstandene Short wird sofort einweiht 😊Lue lisää

Paris Day 5
8. kesäkuuta 2023, Ranska ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
The day started with a walk from our accomodation to the Louvre. We spoke to a Toot Bus rep at the Louvre stop which was well marked and were advised that the day before a dignitary's visit in Paris had disrupted traffic. He reported no traffic jams today so we hopped on the bus with a smooth trip past the Arc de Triomphe to the Eiffel Tour. We shared picture taking with some fellow tourists and then found ourselves having lunch at Aux Cerises. Nancy had salmon and Jan had cheesecake; both were very good. Jan bought a souvenir Eiffel tour for her buffet and we debated whether to go up the tour or do a Seine boat ride. Unfortunately, we lost each other in the crowds and by the time we found each other we were both hot and crabby so we bailed out of any other activities and Toot Bused it home. We noted better signage, more frequent buses and an up to date website for Big Bus Paris and would try the Big Bus in London.Lue lisää

Notre Dame de Paris and the Crypt
15. huhtikuuta 2023, Ranska ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
After our included breakfast at the Mecure Centre Paris Tour Eiffel hotel, Doug lounged on the bright red couch before heading out to the Hop on Hop off Tootbus. It was probably a good thing he rested because we had a long day ahead of us.
We started by visiting outside the Notre Dame Cathedral which is under construction after the 2019 fire that left a stone skeleton behind. Even surrounded by scaffolding, she's beautiful!
We descended the steps in front of the church to enter the archeological crypt of Roman ruins that had been found when excavation started in the mid 20th century to build a car park. It was very interesting to see the stone blocks used to create this town, some of which the Romans reused from forums that had been built further out from the Ile du cite. These blocks had names of important people carved into their sides as their seats at the forum would have been "reserved".
In addition to learning about the ruins, the crypt contained information, art and models about Victor Hugo's creation of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Prior to this book, there had been plans to demolish the Cathedral which had fallen into some disrepair. But the story ignited a passion for the Cathedral in the hearts of the French and was the catalyst for a huge restoration project for this historic icon. Now Notre Dame is again undergoing a huge restoration and hopefully she'll stand for centuries to come.Lue lisää
