France, La Fête Foraine du Jardin des Tuileries, Les Invalides, Paris

Une Chaude Journée

1 Comment

Last full day and the hottest one yet. Definitely opposite of the way we started.

We could not stay across from Les Invalides without paying a visit to Napoleon. A beautiful location, the overall building contains many museums and monuments around France’s military history. We only had time for the Dôme des Invalides where many French Military heroes are entombed including Napoleon I and some of his family members. The War Museum looked quite interesting but alas it will have to wait for ‘la prochaine fois’.

Then it was off to the other stop of the day, La Fête des Tuileries. This is the third time we have had a chance to do this, even know where the sausages we like will be located. The prices have gone up so we were a little less indulgent in rides than we have been in the past but still lots of fun for all.

After a nice stroll around the Jardin des Tuileries, Louve and Palais Royal we decided to go visit our usual haunt in Paris 6e. No place like (almost) home. Soon the real home, time to face the felines…

Hey guys,

I have not posted in a while so I have a lot to talk about! We went to a chateau in the middle of the forest  (Literally).   It was really nice we dined on the terrace and we all ate Froi Grois. The next day we went to Park Asterix! We rode on a really cool Roman ride where Caesar worked with Astrix and Obelix to see if we were good enough to be a roman spy. Then my favorite ride was the Bob-sled ride cause your pulled up to the top and then your off the track and the speed takes you u shake a lot but it is really awesome!

At the last hotel in Paris was kinda small but the rooms are amazing!!! The first  full day in Paris we visited amazing Cemetery with famous people buried there like Oscar Wilde and Sara Bernhardt.  I enjoyed looking at the different tombstones and how the Cemetery changed a lot from straight to curved a bit.

Our last day in Paris and on vacation we went to the Fete Foraine  and rode the water ride.. and went into the fun house! Then then explored the city and we found a cute little cafe where i had ice-cream and something to drink. We arrived back in the hotel and here i am now blogging!

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog can’t wait to see you soon!
From,

Syd
