Had a lovely first proper day in Paris. Beautiful weather. After a decadent buffet breakfast we headed straight to Versailles to see the palace and amazing hall of mirrors and then had lunch in the sculptured gardens. Caught the train to back to Paris with the kids bouncing on the seats in excitement each time they spotted the Eiffel Tower. Spot the tourists! Was 4pm by the time we reached the city. Saw beautiful Notre Dame and after a looooooong walk for little (and big legs) along the River Seine the grand finale ... the Eiffel Tower...all lit up by now. Paris stunning at dusk and evening. Very pretty. To top it off they made the Eiffel Tower twinkle just as we were leaving to go back to our hotel. Had pizza for tea at a lovely bar and the chef and waiters so sweet... they made a calzone in the shape of a fish for the kids even with an olive for the eye and gave them free cornetto icecreams and lollies! Unbelievable! A lovely finish.
