Trying different cuisines

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 25 Nov 24

One of the novelties of going on holiday is getting to eat meals out, something we virtually never do otherwise. And our trip to Paris was a great opportunity. Little One is rather a fussy eater, she has certain favourites and is...

Sometimes it isn’t easy to try to please everyone. Most of the time on our Paris trip we tried to do things together, but one day we decided to split into two groups. My partner and Little One wanted to go up the Eiffel tower, but...

The train tickets were all arranged. The accommodation was booked. On the day of travel we actually managed to leave the house in time - something of a miracle for us, although it was helped by having booked a taxi to pick us up –...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 9 Nov 24

Last week was half term and since we haven’t been out of the country (apart from to Jersey, which doesn’t really count) since 2019 I fancied going somewhere a bit different. However we are trying to avoid flying, with its massive...

Presenthere @Presenthere (157) 25 Dec 21

Eiffel Tower is one of the finest creations of human art. I always love talking about it at length. The Eiffel Tower pulls people like magnets. It draws thousands of spectators from across the globe. I visited Paris a few years...

In My Mind

Susan @HazySue (39265) • Gouverneur, New York 21 Jan 21

Today my body is not cooperating with me so I am relegated to the bed. But, in my mind I am sitting at a sidewalk café in Paris enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. I will be here for about half and hour just watching the people...

On this day 6 years ago, my hubby and I stood at the Diana Flame in Paris, Pont de l'Alma tunnel where Diana died in 1997. So my hubby and I did a bit of 'call back the past' to 2014 and our wonderful European holiday and cruise...

A touch of nostalgia

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 31 May 20

When looking through my daughter's wedding photos (two weddings in one year - so daughters is plural) this one especially strikes me as something Edouard Manet might have painted in one of the gardens in Paris. I could do with a...

Train Con

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 20 Feb 20

OK, not a huge con, but nevertheless charging double the outward journey to return home having lured you into travelling by dangling a cheap one way fare is a little underhanded. I was offered a fantastic single fare of £29 from...
