Day 1 - Paris

Last night we arrived at CDG airport about 8:00pm. We stayed at the Novatel Hotel which is attached to the airport.

 This morning we caught two trains, arriving at the station just below the Musee D'orsay museum. When we came out of the underground immediately saw the museum, a statue of an elephant and the river Sein. It's an amazing place. Beautiful.

We're lucky Louise is able to speak French. She has negotiated all the street signs and check in counters.
Our apartment is fantastic! Although the girls are sharing a fold out sofa bed, the view out the window is breath taking. Dad has already claimed one of the streets as his own.

This afternoon thecranegirls and Dad went wandering the streets of Paris until we eventually found the Eiffel Tower. Courtney was the first to spot it - Brooke and Dad looked left.

Courtney's school art assignment has her taking photos of all the trees - which looks odd when you're facing away from the world famous monument taking photos.

We had a lovely afternoon wandering the streets looking at buildings and shops. It's fair to say the girls have fallen in love with Paris.
