Nous allons a Paris!
Proof if proof is needed that Keith and I paid a fleeting visit to Paris last weekend. We did a lightning tour of the Louvre, particularly the Egyptian collection which was amazing - I'll try to put some more pics of that on here later. Also saw the Arc de Triomphe (see above), the Tour d'Eiffel, the Quartier Latin and Notre Dame. The city has a lovely atmosphere and one of the high spots was just looking at the food shops and market stalls - bringing the perennial cry "Why can't they do stuff like this in England??".
Impressed myself by managing to be reasonably comprehensible in French (GCE O level Grade 3, 1970) - but then it was mainly buying stuff in shops and restaurants, and its in shopkeepers interest to make sure they can take your euros off you I suppose. Nevertheless, it made me feel good.
