Bonjour - deux

We went to Versailles Friday. It is so large and so grand, but the gardens were my favorite. We didn't really have time to explore (that would take a whole day to see just the gardens) but what I saw, I loved. I would love to go back, skip the palace and just walk and picnic and enjoy the outside.

We went out for a Seine River cruise Friday night to see the city from the river and it was pretty great. Just as we were ending the cruise, the Eiffel Tower was lighting up; what a great city!

Saturday was the Musée d’Orsay with a glorious Impressionist exhibit, lunch out in this adorable little pedestrian roadway, then to Napoleon's Tomb and the Musée d’Rodin (The Thinker, The Kiss) and Gardens.

Saturday night - Sacré Coeur and Montmartre and La Place du Tertre. Stephanie wrote months ago to get us into this beautiful little restaurant for some authentic French cuisine.

As with any trip...it's going by so quickly. Again, as with any trip, I am so lucky to get to experience this!
