    Kilted in Paris !

    Paris !

    Going to Normandy gave us the opportunity to stop in Paris so that our little Heidi’s could discover the capital and tell their mountaineers friends they were there !





    In front of l’Hotel de Ville, we are in the heart of Paris.

    Lady Chrystel and the kids are enjoying the joys of the city .








    The natural elegance of milady Chrystel !




    As we promised the girls we would visit Notre-Dame, the famed dwelling place of the dreaded hunchbacked, we entered into this awesome place !






    More to come…


    Best,

    Robert

    Now this is a vehicle children can relate to !

    But what does it hide ? It seems to be quite large …




    Huge Ice creams of course !




    But also this impressive structure…




    Let’s go under this hundred years old construction!




    Walking under it is VERY impressive!




    Voilà ! Right in the middle !




    Incredible




    Merci Monsieur Eiffel.








    Lady Chrystel, Louise, Evangéline and I spent a lovely spring day in the Capital.


    We hope you enjoyed the trip.




    Best,

    Robert

    Very cool! I could not get a shot from the center of the tower when I was there, there was a large information booth in the middle.

    Absolutely wonderful photos Robert, the girls look like they had a great time, were there any sightings of the Dreaded Hunchback?
