We've been so busy with our families (arriving in the rain yesterday) and touring Paris today (a bit fresh in the morning but lovely and sunny as the day progressed) that we haven't had a great deal of time to sit down, upload photos and write messages on the blog! Suffice to say that all is going well and that our children are looking forward to a full weekend.
One of the highlights of any trip to Paris is watching the kids' faces when they emerge from Charles de Gaule Etoile station and see the Arc de Triomphe for the first time. From that moment, they enthusiastically tackled the length of the Champs Elysees, eating and shopping their way to La Place de la Concorde before heading to La Madeleine. From there, we took the Metro back to La Gare St Lazare and then the train to Vernouillet-Verneuil. A short walk to Notre Dame and our families were waiting to pick us up. Bon weekend!
