Day 6: March 26, 2025
It was au revoir to Belgium and Bonjour to France as we travelled to Paris. We checked into our hotel and then straight out to explore. We went to the famous Galeries Lafayette department store where we got to go out on the roof terrace and see the amazing view over the rooftops of Paris. Quelle belle vue!
Then our guide showed us Place Vendôme (home to the Ritz hotel and very expensive jewellers!) and we walked through Jardin des Tuileries all the way to Place de Concorde, where we learnt more about its history and saw marks in the wall from the French Revolution.
After that we visited Fragonard Perfume Museum and found out about how perfume is made, as well getting to try some samples.
Our journey to dinner was interesting. Down a side street we saw a lot of police and cars and security and we discovered Presidents and Zelensky were inside and we almost got to see them!
At dinner we tried Flammekeuche, a speciality from the Alsace Region and then it was off to see the Eiffel and it was really special as it was lit up in blue and gold for the colours of Ukraine, then some of climbed up it. What an experience! It’s so high.
Then it was the RER back to our hotel.
