Days ten and eleven of our #honeymoon.

We started off Friday with another trip to the Louvre. We looked at the medieval foundations to begin. A small exhibition in the museum, but I still learned a lot. I never knew the Louvre started off as a castle to defend Paris. Before becoming a palace for the royals.

Then a stroll around some more sculptures. Including two my parents have bronze busts of sat proudly in their front room.

A trip on the batobus that was too sunny for me and we popped into the Musée d’Orsay again. We shared an excellent salad in the cafe before going to the Impressionist art gallery on the top floor we couldn’t make last time. Some wonderful Monet paintings in there.

Back to the hotel for a rest and another trip to Mian Fam for dinner. Simply great tasting food 🤤.

Saturday was our last proper day in France. We went out to Rouen for a little day trip. A lovely old town in Normandy. If it reminded me of anywhere, it was Chester. An old town with newly developed suburbs.

After Rouen we stayed in the hotel for dinner. I went out on one last walk, this time effectively five stops down the metro line, looking for some ham and cheese to make sandwiches with.

Today was just a flying day and we’re now back in England.
