I have not even opened my WordPress App in quite some time, so I’m trying to sweep out the cobwebs and remember my way around. Hmmm, where is everything??
Booked on another Gate 1 trip, we will begin our adventure in Paris. The highlights listed on their website include:
- Drive along Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe and continuing to the iconic Eiffel Tower
- Tour Claude Monet’s home in Giverny
- View the immense Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the Norman conquest of England
- Commemorate the D-Day invasion with a visit to the Normandy American Cemetery
- Cross the causeway to the magnificent Mont St. Michel, built on an isolated island
- Visit the fairy-tale Chateau de Chenonceau, stretching across the river Cher
- Stop in Amboise and tour the Royal Chateau of Amboise
- View the Cathedral in Chartres, the finest architectural example of High Gothic style
Here is the map of our itinerary:
We have booked three additional nights in Paris at the end of the trip.
Looking forward to having you join us ♥️
GRATITUDE MOMENT: Today I am grateful that we are once again about to get on an airplane and travel half way (well almost) around the world. We will be joined by two dear friends to explore, laugh, eat fabulous food, and celebrate just how fortunate we are.

😃 I really didn’t research it much. Between Gate1, and Joanne and Tim’s extensive knowledge, I know we are in good hands and will have a memorable trip.
Now that we are here, it’s been above and beyond what I could have imagined!
I can’t wait to share all about it when we get home.

Have fun. Hopefully, you are going soon. The closer you get to July the more crowded everything will be with the Olympics.

Yes, leaving tomorrow. I think Paris during the Olympics will be quite crowded, but still magical 😁

Steve and I are so thankful to be traveling with you and Tim. We love your company and trust your advice. Thanks for your patience in guiding us to make this a smooth, enjoyable trip.
This is another ✔️ on Steve’s bucket list (to Normandy) and we are deeply happy to be together following another of his dreams.
It will be our first time in Paris, and we are so excited. I know you’ve been here more than quite a few times. We love that you are willing to return. Looking forward to a fabulous experience!
