Baby boomers reach Paris

This will be the last blog. Thank God you all say! Paris is wonderful as always. No matter how many times you go back to the same places, they are still full of charm.

On Sunday we went to the Luxembourg gardens and it was absolutely full of people enjoying the good weather. There must have been 30 games of chess being played, tennis, families picnicing or individuals sitting under the trees reading. It was very old fashioned and very magical. There were also children sailing old fashioned sailing boats, riding on the old style swingboats, and having donkey rides. Lovely!

Then we went to watch the Eiffel Tower light up, which was good fun, especially when it sparkled

On Monday we went to a Renoir exhibition, which we enjoyed, and then had our lunch in the Tuileries, and walked by the Seine. Yesterday we went to the Marais, one of our favourite areas.

Today we are going to Montmartre, which is also a favourite place. That is after we have finished here. We have been continuing our tour of French McDonald's. This is the fourth one we have tried in Paris, and the only one with working free Wi-Fi. It's the one on the Champs Elysees. Yes! We are slumming it. It's our old stomping ground from when we used to come as a family, but then it was charming and old fashioned, but now it's just like any other. We don't think we'll bring the netbook into the centre again. So it's goodbye from us. Thanks for all the comments. We have loved them. Marie, the last pic was the actors.

We will be back in Manchester on Tuesday. So, see you all soon. Bookings are being taken for the Christmas market. B and B and bacon butties thrown in!Chris and Tony.
