Assume You Will Return

My sister-in-law and her mother went by elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower on their recent trip to Paris. They did a lot more than we did when we went in 2007. I had the help of a Rick Steve's travel guide, he always advises us to 'assume we will return'.  What is your view on travel are you tempted to see absolutely everything on your trip?

Memories of Paris

My sister-in-law and her mother took a train to Versailles on their recent trip to Paris. They also had the chance to take this photo atop the Arc de Triomphe. 

It brought back memories of when my family went there.  Daughter L Son K was about 12  We rented what might have been an air bnb today.  I remember we fumbled with a key in a lockbox next to the door of the apartment.  It was a lovely apartment off the Champs Elysees with a view of the Eiffel Tower.  I do remember it being very noisy there with ambulance and fire sirens going off from time to time.  We also took a train to Versailles.  It was in March so it was a bit colder but a lot less crowds at that time.

Jewellery Collection

My sister-in-law was recently in Paris with her mother. I always enjoy her many photos, these were taken in their tour of the Louvre. We went there many years ago but I missed the jewellery collection although we did see the Mona Lisa. I loved Paris.

In Paris

My sister-in-law was recently in Paris with her mother and took these photos in the Christmas market there, I thought they were interesting.
