The final day is upon us. We started out early and set off quickly so we could have breakfast at the Eiffel Tower before. Our empty bellies didn't let us get that far and we stopped for a crepe about halfway but picked up some pastries and snacked on them at the base of the tower looking up. We toured a little farther down Champs de Mars to get a full frame shot and then started the walk towards the cathedral. I spied a tobacconist and we detoured to a cafe for...

Since we had nothing really planned for today we gave ourselves the morning to wake up with no alarm and take it slow and easy. We woke up around 845 and between lounging in bed, showers and packing we didn't leave the room until a little bit after 10. We checked out but the hotel agreed to store our bags for the day, and we set out to find some food. We found a small bakery near the cathedral and bought pastries and juice, and sat outside in the sunshine while e...

Fell asleep last night before writing so I'm doing yesterday's while we wait for the train to Paris. Woke up from our surprisingly comfortable beds supplied by the Diocese of Arras, had a little breakfast then descended upon downtown looking for a bakery then some way to get to Vimy. We found our bakery and then promptly found a creperie so I'm not ashamed to say that both were visited. Went to the tourist information office after in hopes of them having inform...

We had a sleepy start to the day, didn't get out of bed until 845. We got ready to go and packed up our bags which the hotel was kind enough to store for us while we toured around the town. Breakfast consisted of some pastries and coffee by the marketplace and after we ate we wandered around the market admiring all the fresh food that we couldn't buy. Dan drooled over the meats and I wanted to try every cheese possible. We finally settled on buying a little baske...

A large day today and no place to start other than the beginning. We woke up to a delicious French breakfast of bread, cheese, jam, croissants and tea at our adorable B&B(La Naomath, five minutes outside of Bayeux but absolutely worth it for the character and price, wish we could stay longer). After packing and paying we called the taxi company we used to get there yesterday as they advertised a flat rate to get to the Canadian War Cemetery and Juno Beach C...
