Paris

Paris

Ah the romantic city of Paris.  A time to be full of joie de vivre!   The usual tourist attractions beckon us but as usual we take great pleasure in wandering the streets and savouring the sights we stumble across.

Our very last day we took the train out to Palais de Versailles, a place I have wanted to visit each time I’ve been in Paris and now finally the opportunity.  It’s a wow place with so much to see that we couldn’t take it all in (yeah, another I want to go back to place). Once again though, as with Rome the crowds of people make it hard to truly enjoy….so if you ever get that way go really early before the tour groups and hoards of people.

We spend our final days of our journey here in Paris.  We weren’t supposed to be heading home quite this soon but somehow it just felt time.  We’ve been away a long time and home is calling.  The rest will have to wait for another trip!

Oh course the Eiffel Tower
