We learned a lot of Parisian history very quickly on our walking tour crisscrossing the Seine, stopping at Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Latin Quarter, the Pont Neuf and more! Then we continued exploringon our own.

ANOTHER PERFECT PARIS DAY – LOUVRE, PASTRIES AND SUNSHINE
Another exquisite day — vegan pastries, playing and resting in the sun, and a visit to the Louvre!!!!
THE UGLINESS OF MODELLING AND A CRUISE ON THE SEINE
After a difficult morning dealing with the modelling world, we went on a Seine cruise that started and finished at the Eiffel Tower. Pure magic!
CATCHING UP, PICASSO, AND ARRONDISSEMENT HOPPING
Lots of chores — hair, laundry, Air France to check a ticket– but also managed to go to the Picasso Museum and walk from one arrondissement to another.
A DAY AT THE TOTALLY GAUDY AND ENCHANTING VERSAILLES
Wow! Versaille in all its gaudy glory on a perfectly clear winter day. We walked the formal gardens, through the grand palace, both trianons and the “farm.”
LAST DAY IN PARIS: MONTMARTRE AND MUSEE D’ORSAY
On our last day in Paris we were uplifted by the Cathedral de Sacred Couer in Montmartre and delighted by Picasso’s paintings from his blue and rose periods at the Musee D’Orsay.
MONACO TO MARSEILLE: A MUSEUM AND A CHRISTMAS MARKET
A relaxing train ride takes us from Monaco to Marseille, where we stumble into a city history museum and a christmas market.
