Residhome Val D'Europe Montevrain

... is the Region in France that Jessica live n, and we joked that we had come all the way to Paris to eat food from her home! We ordered tartines, which are just fancy open sandwiches as they were the fastest thing to cook. We finished quickly. We then walked to the metro, which wasn't too far way. I didn't realise that there were 2 different types of metro; automatic with a conductor, and without a conductor. As we had to change trains to ...

... the violins were improvising too in that second piece. A slight screech would interrupt the tune, though in my personal opinion there was much to interrupt. I looked to make certain that the violinist hadn't died and the sound was her death rather than the demise of music itself. But I might have been alone in my critical opinion. When they finished many people stood and applauded, several yelling bravo. The lady who had her fingers in her ears during the catchy reggae tune was ...

... finished it's concert season and the photo shows the brown organ set. It has been really hot so far and it's not really going to get much cooler as we head south towards the Mediterranean. Anyway, we're off to the walled city of Avignon next to enjoy some more wonderful Provincial food and of course the sights!

... cheese and pastries, drink café noir in picture book-like cafes and stroll down the Seine. Also on my list is going to a Parisian flea market, visiting the musee Marmatton and the musee Picasso, seeing the cemetery where Oscar Wilde is buried, and enjoying a theater show and a concert (preferably outdoor). I have also - somewhat obsessively - made a list of all the places in the Ile-de-France that I would like to see, including Chartres. If I have time, I ...

... who achieved more in one simple piece of work than I will in my entire life. With the Louvre conquered and me completely in a trance we set off for the Notre Dame. The Notre Dame was home to gifted composers such as Leonin and Perotin, and of course the famous Disney fairytale character the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The Notre Dame is enormous and eye-popping from the outside but once inside I could own stop in marvel at the stain glass windows and interesting gothic ...

... lampion deux euros pour Diane. Et elle a écrit dans le livre de prière. Donc, un gros lampion du Sacré-Coeur, monomme, çà devrait compter pour quetchose. Puis pour revenir, çà va mieux parce que tu descends la c ...

... but this is actually one store where you can. I needed to get some supplies for the slideshow of pictures I am working on and the girls needed to get supplies for projects they were working on. By the time we took the bus to the store and shopped around we didn't end up getting home until after 10pm. I just got ready and went to bed this evening.

... Poor Helen and Garth are a bit sick again today...so while they rested Wayne and I ventured off to Val de Europe to go shopping!! Gem went wild and bought some very posh Parisian clothes, Wayne also went wild and went shoe shopping yet again and bought a nice big warm sexy jacket!!! Rather please with the purchases we went back and got ready to head out for our big night at the Moulin Rouge. Garth and Helen were shouting us to see the show tonight as a "thank you" present...how lovely ...

... so powerful! The Palace at Versaille was a little dull, to be honest. The artists corner on Monmarte was another favourite of mine, all the scammers asking to paint my portrait did wonders for my ego. The weather was the only deterant. It was stinking hot but tonnes of frozen water bottles helped. Our last night was spent in a lovely Tibetan restaurant and dancing some Salsa on the banks of the Siene! Perfect!

First time - Eurodisney with Bev - went by coach - aaaargh! Good fun though. Second time - The city with Dad, lots of walking, lots to see, eiffel tower was good, war museum was good, £9 for a sandwich near the louvre! Found a good bar, with cocktails, but dad wanted to go to sleep... (at 8:30!) Lacked atmosphere, and seemed a bit clinical, Doubt I'll ever go back.
