Paris part two

The view from behind the clock at Muse de Orsay.


Windy day out the front of Invalides, former hospital, now a museum.


Matt on the Champs-Elysées, sans le bike.


Marta and Tony is that you? Dad i didn't know you played the violin... Mum you're as good as ever on the old piano accordian!


Stormy coulds above the Sacré Coeur, or white castle as we call it.


Another beautiful ceiling (in the Opera Garnier)


Marcus this one is for you if you are out there... spot the japanese tourist.


So that was Paris, well some of it. Our top 5 activities (in no particular order):
- Muse de Orsay
- Eifel tower
- Opera
- Nutella Crepes
- Arc de triomphe

Least favourite activity:
The sewer tour was interesting but smelly. The highlight was seeing what happens when a toothbrush gets flushed.

Overall Paris has been a treat. Caroline gives it 8.75/10! (there you go Carol, it is a different number, kind of).



Mark and Michelle, I hope you are not working the weekend. I am worried as the JMS blog has not been updated for a long time...

  1. I didn't know you could do a sewer tour! Is that what took off the .25? Or maybe it took off more and the bonus points from Nutella crepes got the score back up there...

    I will be looking for you on tv in the background of le tour!

  3. I bet Dad will be really jealous when he hears you have been on a sewer tour! Hope my twin sister could play something other than Jingle Bells and Row Row Row your boat....didn't see your large donation in the violin case, so perhaps not.
    Where's the photo of Willy's?(Wine Bar that is).
    Keep the fun happening. Better go make a batch of Nutella crepes and watch the tour.
