Paris, the City of Light |
I plan to revisit some of the city's most famous sights, like the Orsay and Louvre museums, and charming historic neighbourhoods like Montmartre and Ile de la Cité. The recent devastating fire at Notre-Dame de Paris reminds me that I shouldn't take these icons of French culture for granted. They may not be here forever.

This time when I stroll through the Tuileries Garden, I plan to sit beneath the chestnut trees for a few peaceful moments with a glass of wine or café au lait. I'm going to cross the Pont Alexandre III bridge and go inside the glass-domed Grand Palais to see La Lune, an exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of man's first steps on the Moon. And I'll get close enough to the Trocadéro Gardens to feel the cooling mist from the Warsaw Fountains.

Experiences such as these in Paris will make up only half of my vacation in France. I'll also be touring Normandy, Brittany and the grand chateaux of the Loire Valley. And I can't wait to tell you all about it!
