Precious #daughter dear in #Paris for #fashionweek when we could #travel without #fear. #France #europeantravel #missingtravelling #beautifulinsideandout #travelblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ0ncw6s6sG/?utm_medium=tumblr

We did get to see some #NorteDame #restoration on foot. And really it’s not a #parisstreetstyle scene without #bicycles! Jay was appreciating. #Paris #France #europeantravel #pre_pandemic #instagood https://www.instagram.com/p/CPHCMOwM0R9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you notice the #notredame construction in the background? Hard to see #onfoot because they block the area. I wonder how much #work they’ve done on it during #Covid. We are so #blessed we got to #Paris before the #pandemic. I wouldn’t have wanted to #missthisplace and I really #hope we get to #goback. 😙 #France #Europe #europeantravel #europeantour #cathedral #travel #bridges. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7U4buF6PY/?igshid=13jqk2baetwvl

When I said our #eatwith hostess #Claudine presented the #grandfinale #dessert, I wasn’t being figurative. She called our #company a #2sparkler evening. We agreed. She was a lovely representative of true #Paris #hospitality and the #warmth of her #montmartre home was exciting. #France #gourmetfood #travelling #foodiesofinstagram #foodie https://www.instagram.com/p/CMj4X4bsRYu/?igshid=1suecfvq4s9er

We were thrilled to find #eatwith where you get to #dine at the home of s local. What better place than #paris at the home of lovely, gracious #Claudine in #montmarteparis. She served delicious #appetizers, #localwine, a beautiful #fishentree and a #sparklingdessert. #France #frenchcooking. A great way to experience the #culture and #meetnewfriends. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFHKCQMtaO/?igshid=1l2mqn2cf8o8k

The #Batobus #cruise with #captain Theo was a great way to gain a #Paris overview. You can hop off and on at will and #touronfoot if you wish to, or you can stay #cruising and enjoy from the #Seine. We did a little of both. #France #citysightseeing #Europe #boats #sightseeing https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1NbTnM9Ya/?igshid=15c80xmaqaev2

We chose to see the major#Paris #architecture from a #rivercruise, through #viatar where the #scenicbeauty of the #city includes #cruising the #Seine with stops at #theeiffeltower #thelouvre and views of #notredamecathedral that, due to the tragic fire, you can’t currently see #onfoot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXMNjVMp0w/?igshid=12pv2twl4og9p

We might never have known where to have the very best #gelato in #Paris had we not happened upon a #brucewillis Willis #movie mentioning a meeting to indulge in the #delicacy in #ilstlouis. It was indeed #heavenly. So thank you Bruce, writers and #gelatoafficianados. Don’t miss this one. Good reason to cross the # bridge to this #delight. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJouRvYMI7i/?igshid=1y1lnv8c78t1p

We were amazingly #athome in #chateaudevincennes where #goodfood and #frenchhospitality greeted us on every #sidewalkcafemenu and #storefront. We could easily see ourselves spending a year here. Our little town was just 4 miles outside of #Paris and #Metro made getting into the #city easy. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJJCdb3Mc2R/?igshid=edcd752pu96t

Our street in #Vincennes was #charming and unpretentious, making this #parissuburb the perfect #homeseayfromhome. If we revisit #France the Vincennes experience will always be a destination. Loved every minute. #travel #Europe #instagood https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkuk97sWt2/?igshid=atekl5dsa5zv

Our first #ledejeuner in #chateaudevincennes, named for its #14thcentury and #century #royalfortress, was a typical #chatcuterie of meats and cheeses, served with everyday #grace and surprising friendliness with classic #parisianstyle. We could get used to this. #France, #frenchcuisine #lunch #instagood #travel https://www.instagram.com/p/CEg0pWCMT2h/?igshid=1aqml8z7kuttk

If someone suggests a #meetup in #Paris at #thepyramid, they mean this amazing #louvre location. Warning: lots of people are meeting up there. Lol. You still may have to #huntforyourfriend. But don’t miss this part of the #museum. Worth the hunt. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAJhfHMx_R/?igshid=1vyhz6flgz4vv

Just a few more #objectsd’art at #thelouvre for your #artappreciation before we move on to other #parisdelights♥️♥️♥️ #travel #France #Frenchartvenue #instagood https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjHc94sx9J/?igshid=aezyk9tr2aki

So much to see at the #Louvre. You really shouldn’t even imagine seeing all on one day. The #art and #artifacts, and #objectsd’art and #tapestries, just to touch on a few categories, would alone be a #daytrip in #Paris. Let’s just say if you visit #France, make #parisvisit a destination and do your other #French towns some other time. #travel in this #city is either #whirlwind and #breathless activity or an opportunity to feel like you’ve had time to experience the # people, their #culture, #architecture , #food and #landscape. And even then a week would barely scratch the surface. Go. #enjoy. #Drinkinthesights and then go back again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6vnR_Mems/?igshid=17q28gbexuyas

It’s much smaller than I expected. But #MonaLisa is a must-see when visiting #Paris. We were told the famous works were often more about #marketing than being the most excellent. In any case #DaVinci is worth his #fame and his works are worth the visit. #France #louvremuseum #Art #famouspaintings #europetravel https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYuY_YMlsl/?igshid=rj3eja5nbn3a
