Happy Canada Day!! We decided that to ride the train back and forth from Paris to our hotel would cost far too much money so we asked the front desk if we could transfer to another hotel closer to the city center. It took close to an hour before ...

Honey I shrunk Paris! Tours has only about 150,000 people and is about 150km south-west of Paris, but it gives of a very similar vibe. It has the caf�-lined streets, the quiet gardens, countless museums, and an incredible amount of cultural diversity. ...
