As mentioned yesterday the younger Dudding family all headed off to Paris Disney where they spent a full day. They enjoyed their day there and said it's smaller than Florida Disney. Some of the rides are the same and some are different. They used the RER train from a station right near where we are all staying and it took them right to the gates. A little cooler as well than the Florida version.
Today the Route Master took us through Les Halles, across the Seine to La Rive Gauche and the Latin Quarter. However on the way there, there are some scenic fountains and towers:
We found La Sorbonne nearby. A small school of only 24,000 students. Casey and Jessie were checking it out for future reference.
And a classic view of the university from La Place de la Sorbonne.
We also found the oldest tree in Paris planted in 1601.
Next up Les Jardins de Luxembourg. Tennis players, joggers, tourists, and even a band.
Jessie was excited to find some small horses.
And Deen and Jane were excited to find the shop of Pierre Herme, one of the top pastry chefs in France.
And with all the apartments in Paris with small elevators it was interesting to see how people move their furniture.
Finally on the tour The Pantheon. A magnificent old structure.
Friday we have tickets for the Eiffel Tower and then will wander in that neighbourhood. We plan to go see the tower this evening as it is lit up every hour on the hour.
