Paris! Ooooo....la...la!

Exploring Paris was fun.  Luckily it was sunny but very cold.



Typical shop on Rue Monge just down from our apartment in the Latin Quarter.


Street entertainment....earning his money as it was very cold!




Visiting Notre Dame on Easter Sunday....the bells were ringing and they had a large screen set up and bleachers outside the church so everyone could hear the service.


Sue's heritage....very old book shop in Paris.



The Seine



On our way to the Louvre

We climbed to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and that was high enough to see what we wanted to see!

We went to Montmarte...this is Sacre Coeur!



Took the train to Versailles...this is part of the Palace of Versailles











The fountains and gardens of Versailles are amazing on their own.




What a beautiful day to explore the grounds.



And then we were on the train back to Vence.  Very relaxing and the countryside was beautiful.
