After lunch we had to meet our mini-bus at 1.15pm out the front of the Amboise Tourist Office. Karen, Lindee and I were all on time but the four girls were nowhere to be seen. Our driver was literally calling the office in Tours to get permission to ... Read more >

Today we embarked on a mini-bus tour from Tours (pronounced 'tour') of four of the chateaux in the Loire Valley. There was me, Lindee, a woman from New Zealand called Karen and four young Asian women on the tour. As fellow Antipodeans Karen, Lindee and ... Read more >

Our booking at the chateau included breakfast which was served in the old chapel on the same floor as our 'apartment' (I am using that word very loosely). A beautiful room that has not been sullied by any ghastly 1970s furniture - only antique furniture ... Read more >

Caught the train from Pontorson to Rennes (only 45 minutes) to collect the car. Once we'd figured out how to change the language on the GPS to English we were on our way to our next destination. We stopped at a little place called Martigne-Ferchaud to ... Read more >

We spent most of the day over at Mont Saint Michel. A fascinating little island with just one street winding its way up to the glorious Abbey. The views over the bay from the terraces around the Abbey are magnificent. There are twenty rooms inside the ... Read more >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >
