Leaving France...

We're just about to leave France to spend a week in the UK before heading back to Victoria and we're a few days behind on our blog.  We did our best to keep on top of the blog entries, but we fell off the wagon in the end, or got run over by the wagon, or whatever...We probably won't get to finishing our last entries before getting home. So before going, I'll just quickly summarize the last few days...

We spent Bastille Day at the Domaine de Marie Antoinette (Petit and Grand Trianon and Hameau de Marie Antoinette).  This was partially in heavy rain, which then turned into beautiful sunshine.  We got lots of nice pics, which we'll share when we have time.

In the evening, we watched some Bastille Day fireworks from a distance. There seemed to be celebrations happening in every direction.

The next few days, we mostly wandered around Paris with no particular destination (nice for a change!), saw some areas we hadn't explored and did a bit of shopping.

Today has been a quiet day of tidying the house and packing before getting a very early EuroStar train to London tomorrow morning.

  1. I can't believe that your time in France has come to an end. I am going to miss reading your blog entries, I was traveling vicariously through your adventures. Miss you both.
