Paris and the west have been lovely. More to go yet though. The Chateaux were very impressive - if a touch extravagant - no wonder the peasants revolted!
The food has been good; and the wines. Beires aren't bad either.
The tour we have been on for the past three days was different. We kept meeting other coaches from the same tour company and swapping people from coach to coach. Commentary given in four languages by the guides; English, Italian,Spanish and French
Mont St Michel was special - really worth seeing.
We are beginning to feel more relaxed as travellers. A decent coffee is hard to find. They all want to serve Espresso over here.
Main impressions - green, damp, old, amazingly old buildings and interiors. Paris at night is Magic. The Louis XIV-XVI all overspent. One even built a huge place that he never even lived in (Chambord)!
But we are loving it.

Hi Guys,
Chambord. I think I'm going to have to introduce you to the liqueur of same name to help you celebrate your holiday return. It's a french liqueur of black raspberry - yum.
Paris by night sounds lovely. (or noir, oui?). Enjoy, enjoy!
Love Deb
