France at it's Best
You are an inspiring writer. My husband and I will be visiting the Normandy and the Dordogne areas next April and May. With Rick Steves aid, we have spent hours researching our desired sites to visit. Reading your blog has enriched our ideas. (I find it interesting we are staying at many of the same places, although, they were booked prior to discovering your blog - sure Rick Steves has something to do with this). I enjoy the way you go into the history of the areas you visited. I can sense your emotions in your writing as you talk about those individuals who gave their lives so freely at Normandy. I spent lots of time researching the history of the areas prior to our trip to help me experience what I will visit. I love Paris and will spend time in the City of Love. The Rue Cler area is my favorite location to stay in Paris. Keep traveling and follow your dreams. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
