Today was our last full day in Paris. We took the subway to Notre-Dame to meet Emily. She wanted to show us some of her favourite spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above  – Notre-Dame just down the street from Emily’s hotel. Much progress has been made on the restoration since we were here last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – we just missed the Lego tour boat!  Perhaps the next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – coffee at La Tour des Notre-Dame cafe right beside the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above  – Emily knows the staff & the owner well. We enjoyed one of their charcuterie plates with our coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – one of the cathedral’s gargoyles was “spitting” on the tourists when it was raining so workers put a muzzle on it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – we stopped in front of the cathedral for the “obligatory” selfie. It would be nice to have a Euro for every one taken during just one day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – our next stop was at the Luxembourg Gardens to enjoy the flowers & the peace & tranquility compared to the hustle & bustle around Notre-Dame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all went back to our hotel to rest for a couple of hours prior to heading towards the Eiffel Tower area for an evening dinner & to view the night lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – we are getting quite adept & riding the subway here. People might even mistake us for locals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above\u00a0 – it’s interesting to see that several of the renovated stations have installed special glass walls with sliding doors that prevent people from accessing the tracks. These doors only open when the subway train has stopped & opens its doors to let passengers on & off. I wonder if we will start to see this in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – early in the evening we took the subway to the Eiffel Tower area & had dinner at cafe Emily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – dinner was delicious & followed by creme brulee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo above – the Eiffel Tower light show was very impressive. The crowd was unbelievably large & it was chaos getting through the subway station at the Trocadero. We were glad to get back to our hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had a great time in Paris viewing the sights with Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will sleep well tonight & and tomorrow we fly home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
