Our first day in Paris, we arrived exhausted at 6.40am local time (very obscene) as you are desperate for a shower and change of clothes before setting out exploring. Luckily our hotel thought they might have a room for us by about 10am, so we headed out to explore close to the hotel. Mark and another friend had referred us to the Hotel Du Pantheon, which is a fantastic hotel overlooking the Pant... Read Full Entry

Your photos bring back so many memories. they get the cars in by leaving the hand break off and shunting the car in front and behind, check the bumpers out! If you get to the Louvre head for Napoleons Quarters and work your way back (my tip). Keep up the good work with the blogs.

Enjoy it my Gorgeous friend
I got tears in my eyes when I saw my name in your journal. Thanks Cheryl…I would have loved to view all those amazing artworks with you. At the moment I am studding Gustave Courbet, a French activist full of political views just like me. Go and look at his paintings in the Musée d\'Orsay. You will find a lot of the Impressionist paintings there too…specially Vincent van Gogh. Don’t forget to go to the Louve and look at the Mona Lisa. Then go for some retail therapy at Lafayette. The Galeries Lafayette is a French department store. Explore and enjoy. Cecilia

Cecilia, how disappointing I am to you, I could hardly walk by the time we got to the Louvre, and hobbled around. I loved the Degas's the most, and the pre-raphealites are always my favs, but sorry I don't remember the Corbet paintings. Was very disappointed to find that the Louvre was closed on a Tuesday, so I missed the Mona Lisa also! I have thought of you lots when looking at the art and sculptures. Cheryl
