We awoke on the second morning in Paris to the sound of the street cleaning machines. Funnily enough we had been told that Paris was a dirty city. Well we certainly did not see any signs of the things we were told to expect. If anything the city was sparkling clean and the street cleaner came down our street with certain regularity every morning at around 5:30am. We breakfasted in the little restaurant in the basement of the hotel, on ham, a variety of cheeses croissants, cereal, fruit and juices. Everything was fresh and unpolluted with preservatives. What a lovely…

The ceilings have intricate patterns surrounding the sky light. There is exquisite detail on the relief figures as they stand out from the wall. Just look at the size of these paintings. Here is another example of marble tiles and statues in the the courtyard.

There is so much to do and so much to see in Paris. The place is just a treasure trove of art, culture and magnificent architecture. We were wise enough to buy the museum passes before leaving Australia, so we had priority access to the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay. Having the pass allowed us to walk past the very long queue of people waiting to get into the Louvre, we went straight to the head of the queue. Now we know how the celebrities feel when they can bypass the queues that stretch for blocks, and walk right to head…

To all you romantics out there – take our advice and visit Paris. We stayed at the Hôtel Louvre Saint-Romain which was a little hotel about 2 minutes walk from the Louvre. A great location in the city center at 5-7, Rue Saint Roch. The room was comfy and was decidedly larger than the one we had in London. Once we had dropped of our luggage, we set out to walk up the Champs-Élysées which is of course the most famous, fashionable street in Paris. There are cafes and luxury shops all the way up the avenue and it is…

After a great few days in London we hopped on the Chunnel Train to Paris. The Eurostar was a must do experience for us. We wanted to travel through the channel tunnel so we weren’t too worried that it might be more expensive than a boat trip across. Wanda wasn’t particular keen on travelling by boat anyway due to sea sickness. The Eurostar was comfortable but unfortunately our seats were situated in a spot where we didn’t have a complete window view and the people in front of us who had the full view up and went to sleep as…
