Bonjour,
We have booked our apartment Yea!! 9 rue Laromiguiere in the 5 arr. (Latin Quarter). It was hard deciding what web site to use there was so many. We used VRBO. The next step was the district. It was important to be close to all the major sites. We like to walk & we didn't want to spend our time on the metro travelling back & forth to our apart. So we narrowed it down to this one. It's a couple of blocks from the Pantheon & rue Mouffetard. We will send pictures when we arrive. It is on the 6th floor & has 2 balconies, that was what caught our attention. I can see Chris & I sitting on the balcony drinking our wine after a hard day of sightseeing. We are keeping our plans open, we have 2 weeks so we don't need to rush around trying to see everything. We'll do a couple of day trips to get out of the city. Versailles, Monet's garden, Fontainebleau & I would like to go to Vimy Ridge. There is a tour company that has daily walking tours, the same idea as the London Walking Tours & we really enjoyed those. Not to sure what the weather will be like, the last 2 trips in Oct. were very hot & we had to buy lighter tops. We'll try to see the weather forecast before we go. We both bought smaller bags & the apart. has a washer so we don't need many clothes. It has been 40 years since I was there. I wonder if I will remember anything. I looked at the old pictures & I can't believe I was that young.
Au revoir, Lyn
