Well we made it into France..... Picked up the car in Calais - Mr D drove us from the port into Paris - very scary but he managed very well! Actually he managed better than very well - i was a bit of a wreck as the lanes were a bit narrow!!!
The next morning we set off on our adventures of Paris. The day started off with a cafe au lait and a croissant for breakfast - how French i must say!
Our walk started at the Bastille Monument then walked towards the Ile St Louis then on to Notre Dame... what a truly beautiful church, I was transfixed and became very camera happy!
We were then off to the Louvre, again I was taken away with the beauty of the architecture. We saw the usual Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo etc.... We then made our way to the Eiffel Tower - and again my fear of heights took over. It was then we decided we'd sit underneath and have a beer instead. From there we made our way to the Arc de Triomphe and stolled along the Champs Elysees before turning off to head towards the Sacre Cour.
It was a long walk - around 90 minutes but the view was well and truly worth it! We then walked to the Moulin Rouge before catching the train home!
