ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our three-month stay in Paris is the fulfillment of a 25+ year-old dream. While in college, I knew people who did study abroad and I was upset that I didn’t figure out how to make that happen. It took a long time, but we finally made it happen.
In addition to visiting the many museums and sites of Paris, indulging in dining and shopping in Paris is always at the top of our lists whenever we visit.
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.
