We’re going to France!

Charlotte chose France for her 12yo trip with Grandma Kathi and Grandpa Jim, and I get to tag along! We’re flying in and out of Paris, and staying about a week at their place in Bourdeilles.

Day 10: The Louvre and shopping

Image
We did a “highlights” tour of the Louvre this morning (thanks to Rick Steeves).  Sketching was done.  Some of us were relaxed.  Photos were taken.  We did *not* wait in this line to get up close to the Mona Lisa.  Charlotte refused to re-enact Les Mis with me.  After the museum, we visited E. Dehillerin but did * not* buy a full set of copper pans.  Or a ladle as big as Charlotte’s head.  And we made a stop at the cutest yarn shop ever.  And finally, lunch.  After that, a swing through Galeries Lafayette — so fancy! And we took the Metro back to our hotel for some air conditioning. Did I mention that it was well into the 90s today? Whew! We all got a little rest in the air conditioning, and then had a most delightful dinner at Le Petit Prince near our hotel. Charlotte’s dessert unfortunately caught fire.  We fly home tomorrow. What a trip we’ve had!

Day 4: Lascaux & shopping & dinner, oh my!

Image
We toured the replica caves at Lascaux this morning, but I didn’t get much in the way of photos. The tour and visitor center were great — organized, informative, and lovely.  We did not buy any overpriced Lascaux liqueurs.  On our way back we stopped for a few things at Auchon (somewhere between Walmart and Target on the big box store spectrum) and happened upon these in the t-shirt section: Back at the house, we had a little aperitif with neighbors before heading up to dinner.  The restaurant just up at the top of the hill has new owners and a wonderfully eclectic menu. My starter was a goat cheese burrata with a tomato tapenade.  My main was less picturesque (still delicious!), and my dessert was an apricot “soup.” Yum.  Tomorrow, the market in Brantôme!
