What a great trip to Paris and Normandy with Anne and cousins Elizabeth, Laura, Kate and Isabel to celebrate 50th wedding anniversary for Brigid and Ed and Uncle Michael and Aunt Cathy.
We enjoyed time together, exploring the city of Bayeaux and Honfluer and a tour of the D-day beaches. The small towns were idyllic and not crowded. We were there a few days before D-day so were able to see some of the memorials and events happening. Near the airborne museum, we even saw re-enactments and soldiers and felt like we stepped back into WW2.
In Paris, we enjoyed all of the highlights, including seeing Notre Dame again, going to the 2nd floor of the Eiffel tower (except for Ed), Saint Chapelle, and city tours with Anne Marie of Montemartre, Parliament, and the library and university (as the Louvre workers were on strike). We shopped some and ate a lot of croissants and baguettes and I tried escargot. The andoullette in Normandy, however, was not tasty.
We also had a day trip to Giverny to see Monet's garden and that was beautiful.
It was a great trip with good accommodations and food and transportation and of course the company!
