I come back here each evening and plug away at a little more I heard or read during my daily excursion.<br /><br />The day here goes until 9pm so I know not to get out before 11am. It is good not to do too many tourist areas - the difference down at Pont Neuf yesterday was remarkable.<br /><br />I would not say this is the 'posh' end of town, but let's just say 'a good address'. I steer clear of the posh end.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-15920542546489319262011-04-05T17:20:59.646+10:002011-04-05T17:20:59.646+10:00So you are in the posh end of town?

I'm trying to remember where we stayed last time we were there, hang on I'll go check the photo album. Golly it was back in 2004 but only seems like yesterday. We were with a group of friends on a wine tour of northern France. We first visited Switzerland and Bill's hometown and then we went by coach from Zurich to Gray, Dole,Dijon, Burgundy, and Beaune. Then in St Mammes we boarded a hotel barge and sailed along a canal, to Moret-sur -Loing, Nemours, Cepoy, Montbouy, Rogny and finishing in Briare. Then we were bussed to Paris, where I met my brother and SIl. We stayed at Regina Hotel opposite the Louvre and Tuileries Gardens. My brother showed us around the city but we had been there a few times before. It gets better and better. Lucky you to be there now, wish we were with you. After Paris we went by train to Dresden and Prague. Then we flew to Ireland. Wow That was some trip. Thanks for reminding me.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.com
