ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Paris is a city rich in history with so many things to see and do. Our three months in Paris afforded us ample time to enjoy some of the many museums. We visited too many, in fact, to cover them all in a single article.
The Palace of Versailles is a must-see if you are anywhere near Paris. There are magnificent gardens with beautiful fountains and of course, you can tour the palace itself.
For us, riding the metro in Paris was a pleasure and a necessity because one of our main activities in Paris was going to French classes. So, I was looking for language schools while I was looking for apartments, but the quality of the school trumped the commute.
The concert and fireworks on the Eiffel Tower for Bastille Day were an incredible start to our Paris sojourn. In addition to the big splash on Bastille Day, there were many other opportunities to see live music and Paris and we endeavored to take advantage.
The first stop on our 2nd excursion in France in 2020 was Paris. It had been a number of years since either of us had been there, so we figured it was perfect for our roving retirement exploration.
