Deeply Cherished Vacation: Part 2

Part 1: Phoenix, Chorus competition (September 13-17. 18th travel.)

Part 2: Paris (September 19- 22. 23rd travel.)

Part 3: Normandy (September 24-30. October 1st travel.)

Part 4: Videos, Andrew's pictures of me/gems


Andrew found us an "atypical room" that worked great for us... 



...one bed as part of the entryway and one bed in...


.... the dungeon!


The first day we went to Saint Chapelle and the Musee D'Orsee!

Amazing cappuccino on our walk there!


So much fun with this guy making us crepes!

St. Chapelle




Walking around the island including seeing the Notre Dame damage:









Some favorites from the Musee D'Orsee:



We walked all the way through the gardens to the Champs-Elysee for dinner and then Uber'd home... it was so funny that they brought popcorn with our dinner wine!







OMG, Parisian mocha's are amazing! Day two was all about the Louvre:







(I love this bored lady on the ceiling!)






Day three was all about the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe:










Day four we picked up the car from city-center (under the Louvre) and Andrew unlocked the courage badge of driving through the Louvre! (We also both laughed at our GPS's efforts to handle this street number.)





So… guesses how a poor American GPS handled 1er?
Not first
Not premier
Not even one
It proudly told us to keep left on “wunner “!
We both cracked up!

Just above that branch is a balloon!

And... then we drove out of the city and headed to Villerville in Normandy!  Look at this snazzy dessert we shared at a restaurant along the way!
