La vie parisienne

Bonjour a tous et a toutes!

Great to see so many following us - keep the comments coming!

We've had another beautiful day in the city of lights - superb weather, april in Paris has treated us so well. For the anniversaire of Sam, we went to the musee d'norsay and saw beautiful works from Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Rodin and many more. Le dejeuner sur l'herbe was a highlight as well as Monet's Water Lillies.

We moved on for a spot of shopping at Galleries Lafayette and we considered items from mini eiffel towers to 1000 euro suits! All questions to Liam regarding the suits! Undoubtedly, our shopping fix was somewhat appeased, though I think there still room for more!

We then went to the Trocadero to see the Eiffel tower - which looked amazing with the weather we're having. We went up and loved the view - most can now trace where we've been in Paris.

It's been magnificent to see all the buskers and dancers in the street, from a trumpet player, to bands, breakdancing to a man balancing goldfish on his head - we've seen it all!

Finally we had a Pizza diner and then a gateau d'anniversaire for Sam in front of Notre Dame - of course we serenaded him with Happy Birthday in French. We finished our second day with Berthillon ice cream over looking the seine.

All are well and absolutely loving the city of Paris - some are already talking about moving here!

Au revoir et a bientot - Shawn, Seb and Melissa!

  1. So many exciting things to see and do, the jealousy is unbearable! I've got my eye on the soccer match now and have checked out the stats. Valenciennes FC are 10th on the ladder. My birthday is on the 10th and my lucky number is 10. Should be a good match. Noticed on the 10th day of the tour Candice you are off to the perfume factory, hummmm. It is always good to choose a scent that will remind you of the tour. Every time you wear it, it will immediately jettison you back to a special place.
    Lots of love always, my beautiful girl X Hi to Shawn, Melissa, Seb & all.
