Ship docked at Le Havre the 2nd busiest commercial port in France . Interesting to see the city which was one of the most heavily bombed during World War 2. It was rebuilt with many concrete buildings. I did not find them attractive.
Boarded a bus for the long drive to Paris. Well worth the ride.
 Can't begin to articulate the pleasure of seeing the Eiffel Tower in person. Just stood there staring , a fellow traveller turned to me to say she had just ticked off one of her bucket list items Like myself never thought she would ever get to see it. |
Saw many highlights of the city which I think Paris is one of the most beautiful big cities of the world. Lots of parks and tree lined streets.  Dome of Les Invalides   |

| The Arc De Triomphe |

| sidewalk cafe |
 |
| Seine |
 |
| Notre Dame |
Luxor Obelisk
Quadriga at Grand Palais
Paris is April so befitting the song...... Chestnut trees in blossom , spring green trees and grass. Cafes on every street corners, full of patrons.
 |
| Rue de Montaigne This street just off of Champs Elysees is where the high end designers have shops . We just rubber necked. The finale of my day in Paris was a luncheon at a beautiful brassiere. Le Coupole. 
Delightful spot
From the sparkling mineral water , wine , fish pate to the wonderful crème brulee finishing with expresso . Wonderfully French....
   Back to ship sailed overnight to Southhampton then shuttled to Heathrow Waiting for boarding caught up on my news with the Queen and the Times. 
So enjoyed my trip.....
