Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

summer travels, 2104~back to paris

We've been to Paris a few times already and done all of the classic things with the kids - taking a boat on the Siene, going to the top of the Eifel Tower, touring Luxembourg garden and playing in the parks, taking the trains and subway, plus the not so classic things like getting the best ever falafels in a little divey place in the Jewish section of town.

This time we were just there a few days, and we mostly cruised around on foot near our hotel, which was near Napoleon's tomb, known as des Invalides.

We all agreed.  We rate Paris high on culture, creativity, charm, beauty, and art.  But (don't tell the French people), we like the food in Italy better.

Except the pastries.  No one can beat French pastries.

You have some very nice photos here. I love this area of Paris so it is all very familiar to me. Thanks.
