July 31 – Full Day in Paris

I can tell we’re approaching the end of our trip because I’m more and more exhausted by the end of each day and struggle to caption the pictures and capture the feelings of the day.

Morgan and Kylie had a private guided tour at The Louvre this morning and after breakfast, George and I set out confidently to meet them following their tour. You will note I said “confidently”. I admit when I’m wrong, but before doing so will take us at least a half mile or more out of the way – the man is a saint, for which I am grateful 😂 Finally made it and stopped at a cute restaurant for delicious Italian food. Following that, we headed for Montmartre. Another snafu, (this one was someone ELSES fault and we had to walk up 3 steep flights of stairs – in the heat – and a knee that is struggling to keep up. Made it in record time and took the little train tour, up and down, all through Montmartre. After the train ride, we wandered the streets, looking at artists painting, drawing and selling their wares, got a refreshing smoothie, then toured the Sacre Couer. Then it was time to call it a day and head back to the Hotel to freshen up and decide where to eat dinner. Here are a few pics from the day, so far …

Four pictures are all I received from Morgan …. What can I say?

Tomorrow we will do a private tour of Notre Dame – along with visiting the archaeological crypt and a macaron tasting following.

  1. When I was in Paris in 2019, Notre Dame had burned and was closed. From the River Seine, we could see Notre Dame and the charred walls. I’m glad you will be able to tour it.

    1. It was so incredibly beautiful – I hope you will be able to return to see it someday!

  2. What lovely pictures Aunt Roxanne! My daughter Summer’s dream is to go to Paris one day! She is starting high school this year, I told her anything is possible! She wanted me to tell you that she loved every picture!

    1. Paris is a magical place! Tell Summer to study hard and maybe she could study abroad one day! So much to see!
