Galleries Lafayette and the Blue Line
2019年8月19日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Up off the grass and off to catch the bus to Galleries Lafayette (the shopping centre) and I end up getting lost trying to enter The Opera Garnier. We didn't end up going in though as I thought it does not really catch my interest. Let me know if it is worthwhile please?

I asked a young female how do we get to the dome in the shopping centre. The look on her face reminded me very quickly that I am not in my own country. I forgot to speak French, can you imagine?? 😂 She pointed right then left. So off we trot. She soon enough tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the correct entry doors, which weren't where I thought she'd said.

Inside is like a massive exquisite Myer, In the middle is the glorious dome. Very pretty. Athena was impressed. We headed to the rooftop for a coffee. Go up the top, it's free, you can see all of Paris from up here.

Our Big Bus tour has a 'Blue Line' which drives around Montmartre main streets. Whilst waiting for the bus I popped into a lindt shop. Athena wasn't coming in with me until she saw them hand me a lindt ball. Then straight in behind me she followed.

Martin was our guide, he stood in front of us up the top and spoke in English. He shared all the quaint details of getting around Paris and the buildings history.

We passed the sex shops, Moulin Rouge, Nord Gare station, Sacre Couer. Great idea to sit up in the open air and be ferried around the city.

Once back at Notre Dame I decided to make sure Athena could find her way back to our hotel. I made her read a map and remember the street names to follow and cross. I pointed out any landmarks. Then shut up to let her lead. She did well mostly. She is not too great with following directions.

For dinner I spied Athena's massive hoop earrings she brought along. I asked if I could wear them (to show her how ridiculously too big they are)

So big hoop earrings on, Athena lost the plot laughing at me. She told me that they suited her as her head was bigger. She advised me she wouldn't be seen with me in public wearing them. I said ditto. So she agreed not to wear them.

We were stuffed, so to the corner restaurant for steak tatare, soup and a wine. We are eating bread constantly here. Night!もっと詳しく

Tour de France @Paris part deux 😜
2023年7月30日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 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!✌️!もっと詳しく

Arc de Triomphe & Louvre
5月2日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Up early again today and we had a nice breakfast in the hotel before heading out on a short walk to the Louvre.

We had a guided tour booked for the Louvre this morning and were a bit nervous when we saw the monstrous queue! It snaked around the pyramid and out of the courtyard. BUT, luckily we knew a secret entrance and only had about a dozen people ahead of us so we walked straight in.

Once again we had a fabulous guide who brought a bunch of the famous artworks to life by explaining their meanings and origins. We saw the Mona Lisa (which was actually bigger than I had expected), Venus de Milo, The Winged Victory of Samothrace (suspected to be the inspiration for the Nike symbol) and loads more. It really does make a difference to have a guide when you have no idea about art.

Afterwards we strolled through the Jardin de Tuileries which would be absolutely gorgeous on a warmer/sunny day.

There is loads of preparation for the Olympics everywhere we turn - temporary stadiums and roadworks etc. I reckon it will be crazy in a couple of months because the traffic is already madness.

We did some window shopping as we strolled up the Champs Élysées, as the most expensive shopping street in the world, it Waa quite the experience. The Louis Vuitton shop is a suitcase. Bizarre, but very cool.

Once we arrived st the Arc de Triomphe, we successfully talked ourselves into getting the lift rather than walking up the 300ish stairs (thank goodness).
Unfortunately it was raining but we still loved the views. The tree lined streets that fan out from the Arc de Triomphe are simply stunning. The traffic from above however, is crazy!!!

We found a lovely little restaurant and enjoyed a meal and cocktail before doing a bit of souvenir shopping and heading home after another jam packed day.

One more full day to explore this beautiful cityもっと詳しく

Paris - a lifelong dream
4月30日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 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 💛もっと詳しく

In a Paris cafe eating onion soup!
2019年8月18日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 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!もっと詳しく

I want pictures of the crossiants ..Chau Chau for now 😘

Le Petite Prince de Paris
2023年6月10日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
We began our Insight tour of France tonight with dinner at a little restaurant, Le Petite Prince de Paris, in the Latin Quarter. It was terrific and a great start to the tour. There are 30 of us and only 6 Aussies, so it will be interesting. The rest are Americans and Canadians and a couple of Kiwis.もっと詳しく

Portland to Paris
2022年9月14日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
Crossed a bunch of time zones, ate unspecified meals at random times, watched 4 movies, and saw the sun rise over Reykjavik. After riding 2 planes, one bus, several escalators, two elevators, and one very crowded train we ended up in Paris. (We conquered several flights of stairs as well.)

Checked in to the lovely Hôtel du College de France on the left bank, then wandered along the Seine for a bit hoping to reset our biorhythms. Peeked inside St Séverin church (built between the 12th-17th century with some cool abstract stained glass added in the 18th) before heading over to check out the progress on Notre Dame. She’s looking good for her age. Snacked on pretzels and a banana in lieu of a real dinner and fell into bed. G’night everybody.もっと詳しく

Off to Paris🇫🇷
2023年5月25日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Was für ein Tag…
Der Weg nach Paris führte uns durch malerisch schöne Landschaften und Weinberge. Der Weg aus der Champagne war kurzweilig und entspannt- ganz im Gegenteil zum Verkehr innerhalb der Stadt. Für die letzen 15 km haben wir knapp eine Stunde gebraucht, ist nichts für Fahranfänger und Angsthasen. 😂
Nachdem wir unser Hotel bezogen haben, hatten wir uns das Mittagessen redlich verdient.
Das Restaurant Kong ist eine absolute Empfehlung, in einer mega Lage 👍🏼
Danach war Sightseeing und ein bisschen Stadtbummel angesagt. 18.891 Schritte später sind wir müde, aber überglücklich ins Bett gefallen.もっと詳しく
