Spring in Paris
March 19, 2012
SPRING IN PARIS...The Chief Chick is in Paris with her Aunt Jean, 85 years young, who has worn her out. Luckily, the beauty of Paris gives one extra stamina.
Sights for everyone to see when they go to PARIS have included:
The Eiffel Tower/ La Tour Eiffel-Beautiful especially at night when the Tower blinks for five minutes on the hour. However, if you are going to Paris before May 1, 2012, beware! Only one elevator is working and the wait is hours.
Notre Dame Cathedral
L'Orangerie- magnificent Monet Water Lilies covering the walls of the oval galleries
Sacre Coeur Cathedral-Overlooking all of Paris
The Louvre-Don't believe the rumor that the Chief Chick got lost with her Aunt there!
Place de Voges in the Marais-Home originally of aristocrats, and the Jewish quarter. Beautiful square
Les Invalides-Military Museum and burial place for Napoleon
Batobus Tour of the Seine-Boat tour up and down the River Seine
Le Petit Palais-Charming and uncrowded free/libre museum along the Seine
Versailles-Just outside Paris the huge Palace and grounds where Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette lived
Lots/beaucoup of Cinemas- More later on these cinemas all over Paris
This gives you some idea of why the Chief Chick is very tired/tres fatigue!
