Dream to Travel from NCM

Last Paris walk about. Packing. Leaving tomorrow. Traveling most of Sunday and Monday, Tblisi isn’t easy to get to. ; )

You are in luck. Packing up. Leaving Paris early Sunday and don’t get in until Monday midday. You get a couple of days off. : )

On my walk to Montmarte. I’m trying not to bore you with all of the exquisite bakery windows and neighborhood bookstores/libraries. One after the other! It is very hard for me not to take some photos.

Carrousel – on my way to Montmartre.
Climbing. Montmartre is a large hill in Paris’ 18th arrondissement.
Steps.
More steps.
I made it!
Sacre-Coeur. Like Tour Eiffel, it never disappoints!
Paris from the hill. It is very windy today.
On my way back down.

On my walk from Montmartre. Destination, Galeries Lafayette and Arc de Triomphe. Ok, in case anyone is paying attention, I told you a few days ago that the Arc de Triomphe was under construction. Well, it dawned on me after my post—the Arc de Triomphe is not at/near the Louvre/Tuileries (which is where I was for those pictures). 🤦‍♀️ The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (and the carrousel) is under construction. The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is/was originally intended as a monumental entrance to the Tuileries palace.

Stunning. Floors of splendid shopping. I went in, just for the fun of it.

The Arc de Triomphe is not under construction. Photo here for everyone’s viewing pleasure; although today wasn’t a sunny day. Photo taken from the Avenue des Champs-Elysees.

Arc de Triomphe.

Great day. Great ending to my time in Paris. Entirely on foot. I think I walked through seven arrondissements—4, 3, 10, 18, 9, 8 and 1, respectively. All on the right bank—Rive Droite today. And I did get caught in a huge downpour on my way back to the apartment. At least I was on my way back to the apartment!

Next stop Tbilisi. Can’t wait to see Mike! Miss everyone.

  1. Such amazing buildings, so much architecture and history in eac one. How exciting to see on a walking tour. You are walking so much, you can indulge in all those goodies w/o guilt. You go Gil!

    • Hi, Eileen. Sitting in the Munich airport. It is nice, but I am getting tired. I left Paris at 10AM this morning and I don’t arrive in Tbilisi until 4AM tomorrow/Monday. The only redeeming thing is the lounge here in Munich. It is really nice and until now, 8:30PM local time, it wasn’t even very crowded. It is getting crowded now and I still have 1 1/2 hours to board my flight to Tbilisi. ; (
      But, I get to see Mike tomorrow. Can’t wait! Talk soon. xoxo, —n.
