Holiday destinations for the accompanied traveller

Do you need to bring your membership card?

How highbrow would you consider them to be?

Typical enough I’d say.

They’ll be taken to the Louvre anyway, I haven’t been since 1990

Disney as well

The pantheon is a good one…. As well as the pendulum…There’s a great 360 degree view on the roof and there are loads of famous tombs in the crypt below it

Good man

Wandering along idly looking at gravestones and this name jumped out at me, weird

Wow. Is that in Pere Lachaise?

Yeah, mad really. I was just looking at some random graves, you know how big it is, what are the odds?

Watch out for the cruising action here after dusk. Lots of rustling in the bushes.

Homeward bound

We’re packed up as well. Sailing back with Ryanair

Weather has been mixed but it’s a great spot alright.
We’ve been staying out by Chinatown, had some savage meals

We were in montemarte.
Like Rome, you would see stuff that would be the centrepiece of a city and it barely get a mention here

Only downside was the amount of time spent in perfume shops

We had a couple of hours in Galeries La Fayette and a leisurely stroll down the Champs Elysees to get the actual ‘shopping’ out of the way. I took a day off on Thursday to fly back to Irelande for the day so I missed Montmarte, covered the rest of it including a day in Disney.
We rented a toy sailboat in Jardin de Lux yesterday, great fun altogether.
