Bonjour from glorious Paris, it is now 1 week since we arrived here from Nantes - how time flies when you are having fun............... But before I get to Paris a little more about our sight seeing in & around Nantes. We visited the Feydeau Island area of Nantes with its charming buildings dating from 1723, many of which began to lean as soon as they were completed!
Bikes are a favoured means of transport...................
We visited the nearby medieval town of Clisson with its old narrow streets qnd the impressive ruins of an old castle.
Now back to Paris................. where we can see the Eiffel Tower from our hotel room - how lucky is that?????

The Palace of Versielle - while a truly amazing & beautiful building it is also a monument to decidence and excess (well in my humble opinion!!).............

Sadly the weather hasn't treated us well - every day has provided us rain, cold & gusty winds! Not to be deterred the travelling duo has been out and about enjoying this beautiful city & its surrounds. We have made good use of the famous Paris Metro system and the very comfortable main line rail system (first class ..... of course!). More to come, so stay posted. Au revoir, K & R............................
Kathy, I'm wondering if the sun ever shines in Paris! It rained and rained when I was in Paris with you in 1987. Lovely photos. You both look as though you are having a great trip. Marea.
