Paris 2026 Post #3. The best vacations have few solid plans.

Just wander and get lost in the city.

I heard kids could rent a remote controlled boat at the Jardin du Luxembourg and my kids saw there were pony rides there so off we went!

Granddaughter had to wear a hairnet under the nasty helmet, and then it rained on us as we proudly paraded around the park

well, they weren't remote control they were wind controlled and you got a stick to push it

a bunch of 3 years olds running around with sticks



Tangine!

We'd never stayed in this Bastille area before.  Near the Opera House

Had to visit the renovated Notre Dame, so we went early in the morning to avoid lines


A plus-had never been to Saint Chapelle and felt it was even more fascinating than Notre Dame!


After so many visits to Paris we finally visited the Palais de Justice, an old jail where revolutionary prisoners were held.  Learned so much history.   



Today, its a working court and we saw judges in full robes and court rooms in session



Had such fond memories of Bouillon Pharamond but it was so disappointing. Escargot owever are never disappointing.

Outside the Hotel de Ville


Great memories


We loved the apt!
