Je m'appelle Jean Cluny!!!

What is that thing in the background? Je ne sais pas!

Our French has blossomed. All John had to do to get a ticket on the metro was to raise his index finger. Paul on the other hand chatted up the locals with his flamboyant Galic accent and when they responded to us with 500 words per second, Paul ran away and left me holding the baby!

After picking up our brand new Citroen C3 we headed straight to the Marais district to see the Place Des Vosges (where Victor Hugo lived), then on to the Jewish area. We then consumed the Notre Dame, feasted on the Sorbonne, had the Pantheon for desert and burbed out the Latin Quarter! The afternoon snack comprised the Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triumph, a 10AUD coffee EACH on the Champs Elysee and finished with the Place De La Concorde.

  3. Is that all you did in 1 day??! Come on Jean, surely you could have fitted in more than that! Le Louvre, Jeu de Paume, Les Tuileries, L'Opera etc etc. Sorry we couldn't come to the airport...we're still suffering from jetlag (not sleeping at night)

    Paul,

    When and where are you going to see the Da Vinci Code? Surely in Paris, n'est-ce pas?
