Annecy, Eiffel Tower, France, Paris

Two more places I visited whilst in France

picture-293Even though my friend Sandy and I only stayed in Annecy for about four hours in 2008, I fell in love with the place.  We actually stopped there to change trains on our way to Chamonix-Mt Blanc from Lyon so took the opportunity to have a quick look around.

We thought we could leave our luggage at the station but couldn’t find lockers so we trudged around with our suitcases; at least these days they have wheels.  We took a walk around the lake which was just beautiful and it was autumn so the leaves on the trees were such fabulous colours.

I just wished we had more time!! But the other city I love is of course Paris!!  This was our last stop before we returned home to Australia and Sandy and I spent about four days there, staying in a small hotel where we could walk to the sights along the Paris streets.

Of course our first day we went to see the ‘must see’ sights.

The Eiffel Tower; both during the day and at sunset…

As well as many others but mostly I enjoyed walking along the river and though some beautiful grounds…

Two places I had to visit during my stay were The Louvre and The Rodin Museum; both I loved.  We arrived at The Louvre when it opened and ran to see the painting of Mona Lisa then onto see Venus de Milo and some of the Impressionist paintings. What a spectacular place The Louvre is.

Then next stop was to see the sculptures and gardens at The Rodin Museum – this has been on my Bucket List for ages!

Walking around the streets of Paris is wonderful; so much to see; the many shops, interesting people and great French bakeries as well as the famous Maxim’s where obligatory items were purchased.
