Seek Experiences - Pardon our French

Thu, 24 Oct 2013 | By miketv | Views [1368] | Video | Scholarship Entry

Originally, when Mark and I travelled to France, we wanted to focus on our name (Parisien) and what it meant to be a Parisien. But like many travel experiences, things have a tendency to change, and when we accidentally ordered Andouillette, we simply ... Read more >

The Bayeux Tapestry and Going to Pontorson

Thu, 24 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [258]

We could leave our luggage at the motel while we went to visit the Bayeux Tapestry which was only 20 minutes away by train. It isn't actually a tapestry but fine wool embroidery on nine pieces of linen canvas sewn together with a fabric strip across ... Read more >

Going back to France on the ferry

Wed, 23 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [194]

Very early start today as we had to be at the ferry terminal by 7.30am! We had a little outside cabin where we could leave our luggage so that made it easy to walk around and explore the ferry. They did predict a rough crossing and just after we passed ... Read more >

Paris

Sun, 20 Oct 2013 | By boznkaz | Views [512] | Comments [1]

Sunday 20th October. We both manged to get a good nights sleep and woke well before our alarm at 5am. We walked from the hotel to the train terminal where we caught a shuttle bus out to Rome airport. We managed to get some wifi and make a quick ... Read more >

Sacre Coeur, Montmartre and Vivaldi's Four Seasons at Sainte Chapelle

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [235]

Even though we were now staying in a different part of Paris than where we were before we went to Troyes, we didn't hesitate to use the Metro to get to Sacre Coeur as we now consider ourselves to be experts. We took the funicular up to Sacre Coeur because ... Read more >

Back to Paris and Galeries Lafayette

Thu, 17 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [160]

Before heading back to Paris on the train I went to Sainte Madeleine church. It was closed when I got there yesterday on my walking tour. It wasn't meant to be closed according to the guide but I have found that they're quite random with their opening ... Read more >

Troyes - Walking and exploring

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [350]

No rain today so set off on a Walking Tour which involved following the red line on a map I got at La Maison Tourisme the day before. Absolutely gorgeous town about the size of Albury although the tour obviously only covered the central old part of the ... Read more >

Troyes - Eating, drinking and shopping

Tue, 15 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [190]

It rained all day which meant we had no choice but to spend the day inside shops and cafes. I think my best buy was an Italien leather rainhat. So much easier to carry around than an umbrella and much classier than putting the hood on my coat over my ... Read more >

Arc de Triomphe and Going to Troyes

Mon, 14 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [178]

Surprisingly I didn't have time on my first day in Paris to make it to the Arc de Triomphe. Luckily it's a pretty quick trip to there on the Metro from our accommodation without the need to change lines at all. And it was definitely worth the effort ... Read more >

Eiffel Tower, Paris Bird Market, the Louvre and Chez Jenny

Sun, 13 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [246]

Woke up with a 'champagne head' but still got out of bed early so I could get to the Eiffel Tower at least 30 minutes before it opened which is what I had been told I needed to do. Well fat lot of good that did me. The starting (and finishing) line for ... Read more >

Shopping day and Moulin Rouge

Sat, 12 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [199]

Started today by flooding the bathroom. I stepped out of the shower into about two inches of water. It had been draining very slowly prior to that point. Not my fault that the drain was blocked. So after I fixed the plumbing (I am a woman of many talents) ... Read more >

Versailles and Giverny

Fri, 11 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [171]

Bus tour today and we had to be at our meeting point by 8.15am so an early start, especially as we were allowing extra time to get there in case we got lost (always a possibility). We made it with heaps of time to spare which just gave us an excuse to ... Read more >

Musee d'Orsay, Musee Rodin and Musee de la Mode et du Textile

Thu, 10 Oct 2013 | By tracyfrance2013 | Views [190]

Our first trip on the Metro from Hotel de Ville to Palais Royale then a walk through the gardens behind the Louvre (Jardin des Tuileries) on our way to the Musee d'Orsay. The garden lawns are 'mowed' by curly-horned goats as we saw one hard at work (we ... Read more >
