Paris

We had a fun trip to Paris. The pic below is at the train station in Saarbrucken, Germany. Nick and Ivy and Denise and I traveled to Paris together on the train. At 200 miles per hour the trip is only 1 hour and 50 minutes. The ride is really smooth at that speed. When we arrived at the Paris EST train station, we split up. Nick and Ivy took one metro to their hotel and Denise and I took another metro to our hotel. So we both had our own Paris vacation. Then we met at the train station the following evening to ride back to Germany together. It worked out great.


When Denise and I came of the metro we were underground so we found the right way to street level. When we got out on the street, Rue Rivoli, we realized our metro had arrived under the Louvre. Our hotel was only two blocks away basically across from the Tuileries Gardens. The hotel room was great and the hotel staff very friendly and accomodating.


One wing of The Louvre. Just to the right is the main entrance through the arches.

The above ground part of the pyramid made more famous by the Da Vinci Code.
