France

Hello all,
We just returned from a well deserved vacation in France.
This year we decided to go to a region called the Vendee.
We stayed at a camping site and drove to the various villages at the Atlantic coast.
Weather was fantastic and the sunsets overwhelming.



Last Thursday we drove to a camping site east of Paris.
We spent both Friday and Saturday in Paris visiting the various sites like the Eiffel tower, the Louvre, the Montmartre and the Arc de Triomph.
We used the Metro or subway to travel from one place to the other.
We had lunch at the Champs Elysees................OK, OK ....at MacDonalds, but....at the Champs-Elysees.
Some pictures of course.

View from the Eiffel tower to the Military Academy.

View from the Eiffel tower over the river Seine.

View from the Eiffel tower over the city.

Waiting in line to climb the Eiffel tower.

Picture made at the Montmartre.You can find many artists here.

Picture of the Arc de Triomphe.
And.......for the ladies among us.....Paris .....the city of fashion.
The price tag says 730 Euros, that's about $1036 USD.
For that price you can choose between the black and the blue shoe and get the second shoe for free.

We had a great time.
I hope you like the pictures.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Martin
