    Full day in Paris (Part 1)

    September 25, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    After a delicious breakfast at our hotel we headed out. We caught the metro to Trocadero where we walked about to look at the progress that had been made at pimping up the area in preparation for the 2024 Olympics - things are progressing nicely.

    We wandered around the Trocadero, taking in the delightful surrounds and enjoying being back in the centre of Paris. We took many photos of the Eiffel Tower and the surrounds. We met a lovely Australian couple who took a nice photo of us in front of the Eiffel Tower and we counted down the time till we went to lunch to celebrate Brigitte’s birthday.
