Things To Do In Paris


I am researching things to do in Paris. Online searches pop-up with the big ones: Eiffel Tower, Musee du Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame, Champs-Elysees and plenty more. The map below shows everything to be pretty close and easy to cover over a few days - at least a few of the big ones for our first trip to Paris. This trip, like our other three family vacations in Europe, will be over the last week of December so the weather will probably be chilly (although our first trip to Europe back in 2015 was unusually warm except for that one day at Stonehenge). The one thing we have on our list as an absolute MUST is to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower (Don't worry, Momma. There is an elevator). I have done this in Las Vegas so, of course, I have got to do this at the original. It is at the top of Kayla, Troy and Momma's lists as well.

Something I imagine most tourists do not include on their lists is the Bibliotheque Nationale de France - The National Library of France. I stumbled across this video and think it might be a great addition to our trip and it is not too far from our hotel. The official website of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France has a lot of great information on its history http://www.bnf.fr/en/bnf/history_bnf/a.from_royal_collections_to_bnf.html.



Expedia posted a beautiful video of Paris sites a few years ago. This only heightens our anticipation of our time in Paris.



RoaseannTangrs, thanks for your video of 10 pics of Paris. Sainte-Chapelle and Trocadero were in your video and are now on my list of sites to see next month. Also, special thanks to your comments from BlunderCity and Lucie Mitregova about the mall entrance to the Louvre via Caroussel du Louvre Shopping Centre and the entrance is 99 rue de Rivoli. Thank you!




Jay Swanson posted "Free (or Cheap) Things to do in Paris" in March of 2018. He mentions the Galleries Lafayette (and its rooftop terrace) which is across the street from the Opera Garnier. Being winter when we plan to visit, adding these indoor options to our plans is great. Thanks Jay.




Have you been to Paris? Have you got any suggestions for our time there? Let us know. We appreciate any tips you can give us. Thanks!

Stonehenge, Loch Ness, Hogamany 2019 to 2020

Our 2019/2020 trip to Europe was, of course, an amazing adventure. There were five of us this trip (Troy, Momma, April, Missy and me). We all flew from Montgomery to London (Montgomery-Charlotte-Chicago-London) and the same route on return. This year's trip included London, Stonehenge, Edinburgh, Balintore Castle and Loch Ness. Although we did not find Nessie and April did not get to see enough of London, we had an educational travel experience that none of us will forget. Plus, we have this nifty travel blog to help us remember it by. Here's the story... 12/25/2019 Wednesday Flew from Montgomery to Charlotte to Chicago to London Heathrow (Landed at Heathrow Thursday morning) Momma rode to the airport with me. Troy took his truck separate so that he could land on January 2nd and drive directly to his place in Birmingham. When Momma, Troy and I got to the airport, Missy and April were already there. April had been crying since she got there. Probably even before then....
