We arrived home yesterday from our first trip to France. We spent 8 nights in Paris. It is a great city! We went with an itinerary and did some of it -- saved a few things for another visit. People ask, what did you like the best? That%26#39;s very hard to say. Here are a few of my favorites -- seeing the Eiffel Tower (there%26#39;s something magical about that, especially at night!), the Louvre -- awesome!!, lunch at Le Tastevin and walking around Isle St. Louis, lunch on the 56th floor of Montparnesse Tower, succesfully going everywhere on the Metro, Notre Dame, Giverny (the flowers were beautiful this time of year) and Luxembourg Park. Thanks to all of you for your help and advice with planning. Paris is a beautiful city and my thought today is how lucky I am to have visited this wonderful place. I hope my children and grandchildren will one day be able to have the same experience. That%26#39;s about the highest praise I can give to any city that I have ever visited. To those of you planning a visit, I say ENJOY!

abbysgranny, I am so glad you enjoyed Paris. You were very lucky to have 8 nights. Wow! I want to go back so bad I can%26#39;t stand it but don%26#39;t know that I ever will have the opportunity :( Would love to read a trip report if you are so inclined to write one.

Abbysgranny -- glad to hear you had a wonderful trip. My husband and I are planning a trip to Paris next spring and I also would like to go to Giverny. Could you please give me details on how you did the trip?? Daytrip?? tour or on your own?? etc. Thank you, Diane

Diane, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. It%26#39;s hard to get back to the real world! We went on a bus to Giverny as part of a guided tour we were on. I saw tour busses and minivans (Cityrama and Paris Vision). It tok about an hour and a half to get there. You need several hours there to enjoy the garden and home. Hope this helps.

No problem, Annysgranny. Thanks for the information. Diane
