And now I have a trip to Vaux-le-Vicomte planned! It opens the Saturday before we leave, and my friend who lives there wants to go too so we will have a fun outing with the kids.

I hope you have a great time in PAris. We are also going to there from March 11-17. I do have a request - I have been trying to reach Michael Osman for the last few weeks but to no avail !! and since you have booked time with him, could you please please do me a favor and ask him if he is available during our time there. I feel like our Paris trip will be incomplete without a tour with him ad I have had no luck in getting in touch with him. Thank you so much !

SMK2002, have you been using [email protected]? I know once my email went in his junk folder and he didn't realize it. I had to just send him an email with my local phone so I asked his availability for the rest of that time. If he comes back to me I will share that with you. I have booked him for the 14th.

I know! The countdown has begun! I will even pack this weekend. I never do that, pack far in advance, but I leave early Friday am and this will be a busy week at work.
See you AGM!

It is just so exciting preparing for Paris! I love the little hand warmer things they sell in outdoor/camping stores. Great to have on a chilly or windy day. I just carry a set in my pocket or bag to use if I get cold.
Have a wonderful trip and can't wait to read the TR!

i'm like you Nikki. Pack the day before - even on the day if we are leaving later on [not the case this time].
still trying to decide how to plan our days - and nights! -
friday night is the comedie francaise [need somewhere to eat nearby]
saturday is Versailles or [need wet weather option] followed by dinner [where? somewhere nice for DH's b'day required]
Sunday is ? followed by the MATCH [rugby, France v England @ Stade de France] followed by?,
Monday is ? followed by GTG.
where has all the time gone???

I can't pack until I get a better idea of the temperatures so that means last minute. I have a list (somewhere??) of what I still need to do before we leave. Glad my DH remembered we need to stop the mail.

I work from home so generally wear yoga pants and t-shirts every day (don't hate me) so packing doesn't impact that so much. I generally go for layers, so hopefully I'll be okay. I do plan to pack Cuddle Duds, gloves and a scarf in case it is chilly, but can peel those off.
My week has filled up so quickly! That time is going to go by very fast. It's become rather more scheduled than I had hoped, but that will be okay too.
What is the Omnivore Food festival and where? I must go Google now!
PS, I did no packing today. it's not looking good for tomorrow either! Good intentions and all.

2 days to go and this is how our plans are turning out:
<<friday night is the comedie francaise [need somewhere to eat nearby]>>
ok - i've now got the location of the comedie francaise fixed in my head -jardins royale, not difficult to find, i hope, - and there are loads of restaurants in that area. fine.
<<saturday is Versailles or [need wet weather option] followed by dinner [where? somewhere nice for DH's b'day required]>>
still vacilating, but tending to think that we will go anyway.
<<Sunday is ? followed by the MATCH [rugby, France v England @ Stade de France] followed by?, >>
st Denis is very close to the Stade de France, so I think it gets my vote. we can walk there for the match. probably have brunch first somewhere near the hotel.
<<Monday is ? followed by GTG.>>
musee cluny i think - it's one of the few that are open on a monday, and it's very close to where we are staying at the hotel Europe in the 5th.
then time to tart ourselves up for the GTG! hooray!
we're getting there!
