After our tour of northern Italy, we had had enough pasta and were ready to get to France. We were so excited to get to Paris and enjoy it with Anna and Adam. We flew from Milan to CDG and then taxi to the lovely apartment where we spent the next four nights with the ‘Lewingreens’. It was located in the 9th, a district of Paris we had never stayed in before. It was perfect.
The long weekend we spent in Paris was full of walking (and I mean a lot of walking), drinking, eating and more fun than should be allowed. We actually ate in a few nights as there was a chacuterie just around the corner that was fabulous. We walked up to Montmartre, did the obligatory (really expensive) drink at “Les Deux Magots”, walked by but didn’t visit many (due to ridiculous lines) of the major attractions in Paris. We did visit the Cluny museum, which houses a series of tapestries that are breath taking.
Our last night in Paris we ate at a really good restaurant and then wandered the streets, stopping for drinks a few too many times. It was an extraordinary time in Paris mostly because we shared it with great friends!
After our last night, we ventured out of Paris to the chateaux de La Loire. The Lewingreens came with us to get out of the city. We drove for far too long but finally arrived at one of the prettiest chateaus in the region. After a quick visit we dropped Anna and Adam off at the train station in Tours and continued to the French countryside.
The next phase of our adventure…..
