I'm not sure what our internet connection will be like in the Loire...probably nothing...so I'll update now while we have the chance.
Today was our last day in Paris. We metro'd up to Montmartre and wandered about there, had a look inside Sacre Cour (service in progress - brought The Sound of Music to mind...). Got FLEECED by sharks in the Place du terte, but Warren and the kids enjoyed it, I was spewing :)
Walked down the steps in front of Sacre Cour and found a fantastic carousel for the girls to go on.
Headed back to the Place de la concorde and walked through the Tuileries. The kids found a pond with a nice old man renting boats and we spent a good half hour or more there while they chased their boats around the fountain with sticks.
Walked along the Seine and got on the Bato-bus (boat) down to the Eiffel tower stop (emergency toilet stop for Bridie) which turned into a great wine/beer and ice cream stop. We bato-bused back up the Seine to the Ile de le Cite for an ogle at the architectural detailing on the back end of Notre Dame, and a metro ride back to Montparnasse for an awesome feed of crepes, with a super waiter who gave the kids extra creme and Warren and me a french lesson.
Quote of the day from Ashlen : 'That was the best crepe I've ever had'
