Paris!

Bonjour!  I spent my Bank Holiday in Paris.. or perhaps more accurately sitting on a coach for hours on standby at Calais dock!  It wasn't so bad as it sounds but I would advise that if you do Paris - go Eurostar - far quicker and zero stress. 

But Paris was wonderful and I was a proper tourist zipping around the Eiffel Tower, a stroll through the Les Tuileries, the spectacular gardens in Paris in between the Louvre museum and the Champs Elysees and then stumbled across a wonderful English book shop in the heart of the Latin Quarter. I could have spent days in there - there was even a little area where you can use their typewriter - it was so quaint and charming.  Back home now and washing machine is on overtime!! Au revoir :-)
