Posted on July 4, 2019July 5, 2019by Collette

Paris is calling and I must go!

Posted on July 2, 2019July 5, 2019by Collette

I took it easy this morning with a lovely, late breakfast. Then packed up all my things and headed for Paris. I had booked a train to Paris. I was a bit nervous as I had never done anything like this before, but it was super easy and efficient. Once here, I caught a taxi […]

Montmatre

One of only two remaining windmills in Montmatre. There were between 15 and thirty up on the hill in the 16th […]

Bastille Day

Posted on July 16, 2017July 4, 2019by Roy

Experiencing Paris

Posted on July 13, 2017June 24, 2019by Roy

It was an early start (made easier due to the early sunrise). We found our way to The Louvre in good time and managed to enter just after opening.  We also experienced rain for the first time on our trip. Before the crowds arrived, we met Lisa Geraldine aka Mona Lisa. Venus De Milo Trekking […]
