Day 5
Dont touch the mini bar 💀
June 20, 2022 in France ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
So we all know the rules on the mini bar … do not under any circumstances TOUCH the mini bar (my 🐵🙈🙉 can confirm that rule they have heard it 100000 times !) so the mini bar here is partly tricky ! Nespresso machine ✅ well that’s free , bottle of Evian on the little table with a bottle opener one would assume is free ✅ a as bad next to the Nespresso machine a rather innocuous looking small block of Alain Ducasse Le Chocolat weighing 60 gm. Almost unwrapped and ate that beast in one mouthful due to its position next to the free Nespresso machine … for some reason I thought hold on lard arse let’s just check this baby out on the “free” or not “free” mini bar list … thank god I did 🤣🤣 €14 which currently translates to $21.18 AUD 😱😱😱😱😱 now that is my line in the sand (Iceman are you hearing me ?) old habits die hard … never ever touch the mini bar even if it’s sitting next to free stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂Read more

Day 4
Saturday morning à Paris
September 17, 2022 in France ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
We had a lunch date today with Gerry Wilson and his wife Cilla to celebrate her birthday and also to just catch up. We weren’t due to meet them until 1.30 pm so we took the opportunity to wander around some favourite areas of Paris before lunch.

First stop was the Bastille, then we walked towards Place des Vosges, stopping to buy pastries at Lenotre on the way. We did a quick walk around the beautiful Place des Voges and then got down to the serious business of eating our chocolate eclairs, which were divine.

We then walked a little further towards central Paris to catch the metro to Trocadero - with the intention to walk to Les Ombres for our lunch date - passing St Paul’s cathedral and the very picturesque café La favourite, St Paul on the way. The areas around the Trocedero leading down to the Eiffel Tower are all under construction for the approaching 2024 Olympic Games which will be held in Paris.

The weather has been very kind to us and today was a glorious sunny day.Read more
Traveler Ahhhh Paris. Wandering the boulevards and streets is just so relaxing and entertaining… with a few armed policeman along the way…

Day 7
Musee D’Orsay .. The Naked Truth
June 22, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Musee D’ Orsay ❤️ my fav ! Gaudi and Impressionism Exhibitions. Note the painting of the naked woman with the clothed men ? Totally scandalous of its time .. not because of the nude lady sitting with clothed men 😱 women were only allowed to be painted naked as gods and mythical creatures - not just a female sitting in a park naked amongst clothed men 🤣🤣🤣🤔Read more

Day 8
Wandering
February 25 in France ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
We spent the last two days wandering through the streets of Paris. We came across quite a few gems. We had lunch at an African street market, we walked through les Marais and visited the museum of Paris history. Then we walked to la Place de la Bastille, a very important symbol of the French Revolution. On the way back we caught sight of a few impressive buildings.

The next day, we took off in a different direction to see le Grand Palais and la Place de la Concorde (that’s where the guillotine was set up for almost two years in 1793-1794. Need I say more?) On the way there, we came to an intersection where there were armed police (read automatic weapons!) at every corner!!! A bit surprised, we asked one of the guards if there was something special going on. He kindly informed us that we were near the residence of the French President and that there were guards there 24 hrs a day. Sorry, no pictures for security reasons…

We continued our trek along la Seine through le Jardin des Tuilleries, le Louvre then towards the oldest part of Paris to see old buildings and shops on quaint narrow streets.Read more

Paris
May 15, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Grace and I just finished the Eiffel Tower. We caught the lift because it's a long way up and we've already had a big day.

Morning stayed with a walk to the Botanic Garden and the Natural History Museum. We even saw some wallabies and kangaroos in the menagerie attached to the gardens.

This was followed by a walk to Notre Dame, but we stopped to look at the Grand Mosque of Paris along the way. The mosque had some beautiful tile work and rose gardens.

We had lunch that cost more than it should (but we're on holidays, who cares?), served by a very enthusiastic server.

This was followed by a tour through St Genevieve's basilica...I mean the Pantheon.

23,000 steps today.Read more

Today after breakfast we caught the metro to Tuilleries and walked ( my error) the wrong way! to get to Musee d'Orangerie. It was a humid day, sunny and later cloudy with a little rain around 4 pm.The highlight of this museum were Monet's paintings of water lilies. We took lots of photos and we bought a book of them. Also we saw many other artists' works, including Cèzanne,Matisse/ Picasso. Less known to me : Modigliani / Derain/Laurencin. We then went into the gardens and ate our chips and apples and fed little birds. It was rather warm now. We then walked to the Notre Dame cathedral via Pont Neuf. Only taking photos from outside we then walked into the Marais area to see what it was like. On our way we walked through the gardens of the Archives building. Finally found a metro station and 1 stop only returned to Bastille and to our accommodation.Read more
