Our day started with the car tour aroundthe city with Stoyan. He drove a 1970 Mercedes - very cool car. He was a science professor and owns 10 cars and does these tours throughput the week. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We drove around the city on streets I've never been on before. We stopped for wine tasting at the Pantheon. Victor Hugo is buried here. We really enjoyed the tour and then had some delicious crepes before we walked toward Notre Dame and Ile St Louis (and had a bite of ice cream - Carly!). We then caught the metro back to our apartment. (Constant dog shit along the way - Mom wanted me to add that). I napped for an hour before we got ready for Willi’s Wine Bar! They sat us right next to the same painting that I have in my house. Willi’s was the same and we met a nice family from Seattle. I found a Chanel bag at a shop next door that I may have to return for. The Palais Royale was one of my favorite areas and we may return Monday.
This trip has brought back a lot of distinct memories for me of the children and my time here. I keep hearing Matthieu say “regarde Laura regarde!” And many other fun memories of my time with the kids and other people’s visits here while I lived in Bougival.
More to come.
