TTT for anyone needing a "Paris Fix"
Just came across this and REALLY enjoyed your report! Thanks!
I laughed out loud several times and it (almost) made me wish my boys were young again so we could discover Paris together. Though we did do Paris in a family trip a few years back, they were adults...not the same experience, but great nonetheless.
Kerouac: did you ever get to the Cluny museum yet?!

So many of us love to read trip reports about Paris, and yours was a joy with all of the details. You let us relive our time spent there.
My vote also goes to Amorino----yummmmmm!
The scarf story was so cute. A great memory for your family at a low cost.
Favorite photo---your boys with "The Thinker".
kerouac-----that Orangina commercial was fantastic!

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your report. I want to borrow your boys for my next trip.
I especially liked your day out at Vimy. We have visited the WWI battlefields and cemeteries several time. We made a special effort to find an uncle's grave outside Albert. At Vimy, the very knowledgeable young Canadian guide pointed out that we were probably walking on the same ground as another uncle, who happened to be on a visit to Canada from the UK when war broke out and was one of the first enlistees in the Princess Particia"s CLI. We also just happened upon the name of Uncle Tom's best friend , Lt Agar, on the wall at Menin Gate. What a wonderful learning experience for your boys.

Forgot to mention I have also been reading the Sebastian Faulks trilogy of which Birdsong is the first book. The description of the trenches and the warfare can almost be too much to comprehend.

Canada_V I wanted to say "Thank you!" for your report. I printed it out a couple of years ago and just re-read it as prep for my upcoming trip to Paris with my daughter. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative.
Thank you

I have read - and loved - every word of your report. Thank you!
We are planning a trip for September, and my girls are the same ages as your boys were when you were there. I am very excited!
Off to track down your Languedoc report too.
