Your tour of Paris
Thank you for your tour and wonderful narrative of the places you went. I could almost smell the air and hear all the sounds. So happy you and J had a trip of the lifetime. Hope there are many more to come

c'est merveilleux!
One of the main reasons I've always wanted to go to Paris is to put a lock on that bridge! :-) So glad you stumbled upon it. The Eiffel Tower would be the second pick! Ha ha. The architecture is amazing and that Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking! I sure hope to make it to Paris one day. So glad you were able to go, plus have some family and friends to get in touch with as well. Thanks for the tour and for sharing your beautiful pictures. :)
