Well, visions of sugar plums (or maybe profiteroles, creme brulee, glace a la vanille, petit pain au chocolat) are dancing in their heads. I however am burning the midnight oil. I have put some photos up on the blog. If you left click on them it enlarges the image so you can really see it!
Tomorrow we have 6:30 wake up call and leave for Versailles at 8:00 a.m. We tour both Versailles and Chartres cathedral on our way to the Loire Valley. We check out of this hotel and will check into our second hotel outside Amboise.
We will trade the pace of the city for the country life. We got a taste of France outside Paris today as Giverny is in Normandy and has a very different feel than Paris. The architecture changes completely and really you could be in the south of England. The homes are tudor or stone and the rolling countryside is so pastoral.
This was my first visit to Giverny and it is well worth the trip. Everyone had free time this morning. Musee D'Orsay was my plan and then one group went shopping and another group took the cognate "coiffure" to heart.
