Let me say first that the events planned for today were not exactly high on my agenda. The first was to visit Saint-Chapelle which is the 13th century cathedral with beautiful stained glass windows. Two years ago we attempted to see the cathedral but failed both times--the first time the line was too long for us to get through, the second time it was closed. So I was not interested in going to see this cathedral. The second planned activity was to see the Paris O...

Today's plans are to go the Louvre, Montmartre for lunch, and then the Eiffel Tower for a tour. We wanted to keep to a tight schedule because Robyn did not want to be late getting to the Eiffel Tower since this was a tour group and she was unsure how we would meet up. So after breakfast we headed to the Louvre. Two years ago we primarily went through the Denon wing to see the paintings specifically the Mona Lisa, and we went briefly into the Sully wing to see the...

I wasn't spending 350 Euros for something I really did not want to do. We settled on taking one of the one hour cruises and the one we...

Today was the trip to Versailles and we had already decided to take the RER train out there rather than booking a tour group and going by bus. The cost of some of the tour groups were rather high and included the entry fee into the palace, but the Museum Passes already gave us entry into Versailles so it made no sense going with a tour group. Before heading to Versailles we had to pack all our bags because we were switching rooms. When Robyn booked this hotel bac...
