We flew from Rome (Fiumicino Airport) to Paris (Orly Airport) today. We flew with Easyjet. Flying into Paris we saw the Eiffel Tower from the plane and then again in the taxi coming in to the city to our apartment.
We are staying in a 2 level apartment on the Rue de Rivoli across the road from the Louvre and one street back from the Seine River. We went for a walk after we arrived and walked along the Seine and walked around the Louvre (art museum). It is where the Mona Lisa and other famous paintings and artworks are kept. The Louvre was massive. We will go inside in the next couple of days to see the Mona Lisa. It is cooler here in Paris. It is normally about 23 to 27 degrees most days. It was a bit cloudy when we arrived but that was a nice change after blue skies and 35 degrees every day in Italy.
We bought some food from the supermarket. That was fun. Reading the French words and hearing and trying to talk to French people was interesting after trying to talk to people in Italy. We were trying to say merci (French for thankyou) but kept saying grazzi (Italian).
Mum made yum lamb chops and veg for dinner. We are excited because we are going to do the Eiffel Tower tomorrow and probably go on another open top bus and a glass top ferry ride down the Seine. Euro Disney in a couple days time. Yeah! Dad is excited because the Tour de France starts tomorrow. Also he is doing the Triathlon de Paris next week. Mum is keen to do the Louvre (she is very excited) and she is keen to go shopping.
We saw and did some incredible things in Italy. We ate lots of different Italian things and spoke some of the language and met some of the people. We had a great time. At the airport we did an Acrostic word association poem to say what we thought of Tuscany and Italy. We’ll post it soon.
Au Revoir for today.
