Paris - the City of Light
Bienveneu! We have chosen well this year! France is Europe's most diverse, tasty, and, in many ways, most exciting country to explore. We spent one week in Paris and another week in Amboise, exploring the beauty of Loire Valley. Four children, five small carry -on suitcases, an appetite to understand and a willingness to experience. And above all, one big God! Paris has been the cultural capital of Europe for centuries. And we started where it did on Ile de a Cite on a walk that laces together 80 generations of history - from Celtic fishing village to Roman city, bustling medieval capital, birthplace of the Revolution, bohemian haunt of the 1920's café scene, and the working world of modern Paris. Along the way, we stepped into two of Paris' greatest sights - Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle. Our dear German friends Thomas, Katja and their daughter Charlotte spent first three days with us in Paris. Charlotte and Sofia have been inseparable friends for two yea
