Frances was the only one of us that really wanted to go to Paris … but, boy, are we glad she did. Paris would have been the first city we would have dropped from our itinerary, but after our short time there, we would all love to go back. We strolled along the Seine, had a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower, and walked the streets of Paris for miles. We ate the best chocolate ice cream EVER. Thomas and Ed especially enjoyed a riverboat cruise we took and the kids tried duck confit and snails. Again, we found our apartment right next to a bakery and ate our weight in croissants. Contrary to what we’ve been led to believe, Parisians were very nice, helpful and spoke great english (better than our french). Next … Morocco.
