Wonder around Paris
28 april, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
After breaky, went to the Musee d l'Orangerie (Museum of longery). Had a few minures of just Monet all to ourselves before the crowds started! Gold.

We were greeted by shiny happy people (REM song) - the some what typical grumpy French welcome to the museum.

After, we had cafe and croisaant at a cafe, then macaroon, then wondered to st. germain. Had nice lunch, then saw the st. chapel with the stained glass ceiling.

After we found a bar, drank, people watched, and made our way back to the hotel.

Great day!Meer informatie

Paris by night
11 augustus 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Heute war ausschlafen angesagt (für die Anderen, ich war trotzdem früh wach). Duschen, Croissants und Baguettes holen und draussen mit Buch hinsetzen - lesen und warten...

Den ersten Anlaufpunkt Notre Dame (nur von aussen wegen Restaurierung) haben wir erst um 14:30 Uhr erreicht. Heute waren treiben lassen angesagt.

Kleine Brasserie hier, eine Gasse da, eine monumentale Kirche hier, Sacre Coeur bei Montmatre*, im Anschluss lecker Tapas Essen und im Anschluss der Eiffelturm bei Nacht, mit Leuchten und ganz viel Glitzer, nur das (Glitzer-) 🦄, das Mädi sich schon lange wünscht fehlte. Es muss ja auch noch was für andere Reisen übrig bleiben 😉.

*wie gut, dass wir uns vorher in Blogs belesen haben. Am Fuss stehen diverse französisch/ afrikanische 'Verkäufer' die einem Armbänder andrehen wollen. Wissend sind Sean und ich (Mädi und Nick sind die Funiculaire gefahren) dankend, zügig an Ihnen vorbei. Die Hartnäckigkeit, mit der sie mich verfolgt, an der Hand gegriffen haben und mir ein Armband "anbieten" und gleichzeitig festmachen wollten, hat uns dann doch überrascht. Gekonnt abgewehrt, aber festgestellt, dass die durchaus auf Handgreiflichkeiten vorbereitet sind - und nicht nur Einer sondern alle 8-10 dort stehenden Anwesenden und ein wenig freundliches Gemüt ausstrahlten.Meer informatie

Paris Day 6
9 juni 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
We were still keen to do a Seine River cruise and recalled that there was a company that left from Pont Neuf near Notre Dame which we could easily walk to. We took the first cruise of the day....along with about 100 Grade students! So much for the live commentary! Next stop: Musee D'Orsay. Lunch on site and then we focused on the Impressionists and Neo-impressionists. Some highlights: Monet: Poppies, Water Lily, Green Harmony (1899). Renoir: Dance at the Moulin de la Galette (1876). Monet Rue Monorgueil (1878). Berthe Morisot: Le Berceau (1872). Gustavo Caillebotte: The Floor Scrapers (1875). Caillebotte financed and patronized the impressionists and was himself a painter; at the time this painting was rejected by the art society given its depiction of working class folk; Renoir's bourgeoisie were the "proper" subjects of the time. Pissarro: popularized pointillism such as Woman in an Orchard (1887). Van Gogh: Bedroom in Arles and Starry Night Arles (1889). Paul Gauguin: Les Bananas (1891).

We took Toot Bus back to Paris Opera then a taxi back home. We decided after some debate to have French Soup at Sacre Frenchy; unfortunately they forgot our order and we were pretty fizzled out by the time dinner ended and we tucked into bed for an early start the next day to Versailles.Meer informatie

Scooters around Paris
24 juli 2018, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We had planned to catch the Big Bus around Paris today. This was scuttled when we found a way of hiring motorised scooters which we could ride around and drop off anywhere. They are battery operated and really a great way of getting around Paris.

We rode them past Notre Dame and had a look at this 900 year-old cathedral which is so famous and has seen a lot of history, including two world wars in the last hundred years.

We rode the scooters to the Army Museum and Napoleon's Tomb. We spent a couple of hours in these amazing places. The army museum has the most amazing collection of Medieval armour and weapons in the world. The Spanish Army Museum in Toledo is extraordinary, but the collection in the Paris Army Museum is even better.

We then located some more scooters and rode them to Place de Trocadero to see the Eiffel Tower from another perspective. From there we walked to the Arch de Triumph to see the amazing arch and the crazy roundabout. We walked through the underpass and stood in the middle of the roundabout and saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the eternal flame which is located directly below the arch.

We travelled by train back to our apartment for a bit of a break after that energetic day.Meer informatie

An Evening in the Marais District
24 juli 2018, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
I went for a wander in the Marais district of Paris at about 7:00 pm. This is the famous Jewish district of Paris and has narrow streets and lots of character. There are restaurants and all kinds of stores, including Jewish shops, selling all kinds of food and goods. Some of the most exclusive brands and boutiques have outlets in this area. It is also fascinating to see little bookshops and niche clothing stores. The Falafel outlets which are famous in this district are also hard to resist, so I didn't. I ordered and received a lamb schwarma which was delicious.

The Pompidou Centre, the Place des Voges and the Jewish Synagogue are all locations I walked past. There were also plaques outside schools which acknowledged the hundreds of children that were relocated by the Germans (Allemande) to Nazi war camps during world war two and never seen again.

The Marais District is one of the areas of Paris that one can just wander through and marvel at the history oozing from every building and doorway. It is an amazing district of Paris.Meer informatie

Eze and Monaco
10 november 2015, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
We woke up and had breakfast in our little apartment then set off to catch the bus to Eze, a medieval perched village 30 minutes from Nice. It took us ages to find the bus stop but we found it and hoped a bus would come. The bus rolled up and we were on our way. The views along the coast were incredible. We reached Eze and headed for the garden at the top. We strolled for a while, enjoying the views. We then walked through the village - it was like stepping into a movie set. We then walked down the terrifying nietzsche path to Eze train station. It took about an hour and was mostly loose rocks with some stairs. Two stations on the train brought us to Monaco. It was super clean and the port was filled with expensive boats. We walked up to the famous casino and found somewhere to have lunch. They are doing a lot of roadwork in Monaco at the moment. Tired from our big day we caught a bus back to Nice and strolled along the Promenade De anglais to get to our apartment. We rested for a bit, enjoyed some champagne then headed to the old town for dinner. Had zucchini dumplings to start then ravioli for the main. Mine was in a traditional sauce - daube. We shared some rose wine. Creme brulee and chocolate mouse finished a good meal.Meer informatie

59 Rue de Rivoli
7 november 2017, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 48 °F
While we were walking around Rue de Rivoli, we saw this building and didn't know what to make of it. We thought that it was just another store but, when I looked it up later on the internet, I found out that it was actually a very interesting sounding museum. I wish that we had known what this place was. I would have liked to see it.Meer informatie

Centro Pompidou
15 juli 2022, Frankrijk ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Stamattina la stanchezza si faceva sentire, ci sentivamo come se ci avesse investito un tram😴. Ma dopo una bella colazione nel nostro parchetto abbiamo ricominciato la nostra scoperta di Parigi. Siamo passati per piazza della bastiglia 💊e siamo arrivati al centro Pompidou. Trasportati in un altro mondo astratto e colorato, abbiamo, fatto la nostra visita al museo. Siamo stati accolti dai quadri🖼️ di Picasso, kyterich e tanti altri autori, poi siamo passati alla zona di design moderno, veramente strana e intrigante. Ci siamo divertiti a cercare il significato di opere veramente bizzarre come un Gesù Cristo crocifisso su un aereo✈️✝️. Finita la visita la stanchezza della mattina si è rifatta sentire, così ci siamo ricaricati con un waffle panino in un bar a tema panda.🐼Meer informatie
