After the castles tour in Bavaria, we boarded the TGV to Paris. Although we only had a couple of days in Paris, during which I think I thoroughly exhausted Mom, we managed to get around a bit:
The below picture was taken on the evening of our arrival at Hôtel de Ville (City Hall). Too bad everything was closed as it ws a Sunday.
On the second day in Paris, we got up early and headed to Rue de Rivoli for the world's most fabulous hot chocolate at Angelina's. From there we headed down through Les Tuileries, gardens created by the Versailles park designer. Mom noted the statue below as there was a dog in it... something a little unusual. All through Germany, she had noted the huge number of dog walkers. In Paris, it was more doggy gifts on the streets that she noticed.
We then arrived at the Louvre, the highlight of the day.
Below is a picture of part of Napolean's apartments... a part of the Louvre that I hadn't previously been to. By the time we left the Louvre, we were completely exhausted. But I still had to fit in a little shopping near Châtelet and dinner in Les Halles.
And below is a scene from the edge of the Seine.
On our final day, we just went to Cafe Beaubourg and met my friend Audrey for lunch before leaving for London on the Eurostar...
