off our gastronomic journey.This year we became a tad more adventurous by booking a 3 day Metro pass and we travelled regularly, morning noon and night until we got it sussed!
We visited street markets, with such quality produce. Amazing wines, succulent chicken,fragrant flowers and wow...fish...wonderful displays!
We did the tourist things of course. A visit to Paris isnt complete without that, so the Eiffel tower, Sacre Coeur and Notre Dame were on our list..but so different as the sun is setting
We also visited the cemetry at Pere Lachaise where the great and good (or not so good) are buried. We searched out the graves of Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison (frontman of The Doors), Chopin, Edith Piaf and Sarah Bernhardt.The most moving moment was to see the memorials for the different concentraction camps where hundreds of Jews died in WW2

oh fabulous! I LOVE paris...have only been twice, when I was 10 and a few years ago with the hubby, stayed in George V and a hotel overlooking Sacre Coeur {respective trips} both trips left a very lasting impression on me...it's the place I think of if I were to escape somewhere.
We didn't get to the cemetery, even tho' it was on the list...there was SO much other stuff to see/do. We didn't use the Metro we walked eveerywhere {might be different next time! ha!}
fab photos sweetie, LOVE the eiffel and the memorials are breathtaking ;o)
hugs
hello gorgeous xxx
