Europe » France » Île-de-France May 25th 2000

It was quite expensive there before the Euro, at least compared to the south of Europe, so I had a hard time enjoying myself when going out to eat, but the ambience along the river, the cohesiveness of the architecture, and the checklist sights were all pretty fabulous. I always say I'll go back there when I'm older and can really afford to enjoy it.... read more

Europe » France » Île-de-France » Paris July 23rd 1999

We had a nice trip to France in 1999. We spent 5 days in Paris and 2 in Normandy. I always like the countryside better. In Paris we stayed on the Rive Gauche. Walked around a lot and saw quite a variety. In Normandy we saw the cemetery from Saving Private Ryan, at Omaha Beach, and also got out to Mont St. Michel, which was absolutely gorgeous.... read more

Europe » France » Île-de-France » Paris October 1st 1997

Hello my fellow travelers! This is the first of two posts that I'll make about a trip to France and England in October 1997. This post covers my time in France and the road to get there. This was the first time I traveled on my own and after a long and dreary bus ride I arrived in Paris together with both nice and awful people who was to become my classmates for the coming three weeks. Before I arrived here I had an image of Paris as the capital of love, a place of grand and impeccable splendor and a shining beacon of light in the world. I guess I had kind of put it on a pedestal in my naive youth. What I found was quite different from what I had expected. I found ... read more

Europe » France » Nord-Pas de Calais July 3rd 1997

Day 3 What a trooper am I? I jumped out of bed at 7 and marched down to the train station to disembark on the next leg of my journey. It was bright and early and I was already up-and-attem. Pride surged through my body. I thought it was pride. Turned out to be pain. However, at such an early hour, it is difficult to tell the difference between the two. My destination was a small town situated in northern France called Cambrai. Cambrai is where I went to find my great-grandfather. He was buried there after falling in combat in 1918. This was my first and only item on my “Tour Europe” itinerary. Check out this sequence. I took a series of trains that took me from Brussels to Ghent to Lille, France and then ... read more
