Bonjour, My daughter Natalie graced us with her very first visit to Paris yesterday after a grueling day of travel. She got caught in a nasty storm in New York City which delayed her flight for hours, but amazingly, they didn’t cancel the flight. She was in unbelievably good spirits and just glad to finally […]
So…how observant were you? Did you figure it out? These photos are not from yesterday’s Tour final but rather from 2016. It was raining! Our total plan was foiled yesterday due to new security issues. We’ve probably been to this final day of the tour ten times over the years and always the same three […]
Bon Dimanche, Happy Sunday to you all from a much cooler Paris. The temp this morning is 67! We can now breath some fresher air. Friday evening brought a heavy rain storm with hail; however, it only lasted about 30 minutes. Though predictions said it would rain all night, it did not so the relief […]
Bonjour mes amis, The news from Paris is the same, le mime chose— hot, hot, and hot. Stifling, sweaty, dusty and producing a certain glow to one’s person! We hardly know what to do with ourselves. We were hopeful of a breeze along the river and decided on cool clothes and a picnic or piquenique. This […]
Bonjour, It’s 98 degrees today in Paris, and oh, how we dread the late afternoon. It certainly saps all the enjoyment out of our day. Supposedly, we will have a huge rain storm on Friday evening to clear the stagnant air and cool down the temps. We’re praying for it as my sinuses are about […]
Bonjour, Are we crazy or what? We picked the hottest day of the summer so far (95 F.) for an outside adventure. Wow, I felt like I was playing golf in the Alabama sun. We are pooped after walking about 3 miles in the hot sun. Despite the heat, it was our kind of Paris […]
Bon Dimanche! Our visit extraordinaire comes to an end today. Sharon and Johnny Tyson left via taxi at 6:50am for the airport, and Dennis and Jodie Clements will depart in their taxi about 3:30 for Barcelona and another 12-day round of touring and cruising. BUT not before we whisk them to a church service at […]
Dear Friends, As your weekend draws to an end, I bet it hasn’t been as busy and festive as what we’ve had in Paris… Bastille Day followed by a World Cup win! The city has gone crazy celebrating as Johnny said “in pure joy.” It was fun to watch from our windows and out on […]
Bonjour mes amis, Johnny Tyson had the best quote of the day yesterday as we experienced Bastille Day in Paris, “I think I’m on sensory overload.” And indeed we were. Our day started with the military parade on the Pont D’Arcole (bridge on the Seine) where we watched the fly-by for about twenty minutes, followed […]
Bonjour, The L & B Travel Company is now open providing daily tours all over Paris! We welcomed Sharon and Johnny Tyson on Thursday, joining Dennis and Jodie Clements. So now we are 6! What a fun few days we’ve had. Both couples flew over on our airline of choice – La Compagnie and loved […]
