Day 5: March 18, 2016
Salut tout le monde! -- Hi everyone! What a wonderful day we had in Paris! First thing in the morning we went to the Arc de Triomphe to meet our lovely local guide. We had a fantastic city tour which included a stop in a proper Parisian coffee bar for a quick hot drink. In the afternoon with went to the world famous Ladurée: the best macarons ever! The we had a lovely walk down the Champs Élysée, the most elegant bolevard in the planet. We then travelled a short distance on or bus towards west of Paris in order to reach Versailles were we visit the lovely palace were the kings of France moved their court in the 17th century. The second part of the afternoon was dedicated to a gentle and relaxing cruise through the River Seine...the best way to avoid traffic in Paris! Dinner was lovely. When we came back to the hotel we had a lovely surprise: A band was playing full blast in the reception...we joined the party!
Tomorrow we continue to discover amazing Paris before we take an overnight train to Italy!
