Paris  &   London Town

Our road trip through France ended in Paris and we were excited to spend the next 6 days relaxing in France's center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture.  We would spend an afternoon lounging by the Eiffel Tower, took a stroll through the park to see the clouds reflect agains the world famous Louvre, and sit within the 12th-century walls of the Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral.

We also created our own food tour while walking through the maze of arrondissements (neighborhoods) which define the city of Paris.  It began with "The Picasso of Pastry", Pierre Heremé, and his world famous macarons, followed by baguette after baguette (literally two or more a day ha) and an array of classic French dishes including croquet monsieur, escargot, duck confit and creme brûlée... washing it all down with bottles of Bordeaux (and some Scotch from a flask a Scottish couple snuck into a restaurant one evening).  Some of our faves from our time chilling out in the City of Lights...
