Yay for going to France tonight

[arkwright]

Two reasons for posting this, but most importantly its letting you know I probably won`t post as much (if at all) for the next six days, as in about three hours I am catching the Eurostar to Paris.

I`m very excited, as its the first time I`ve been away with the boyfriend - he`s there already and picking me up. The only thing is, by the time I get there it`ll be almost midnight.

 

Basically, au revoir TDN :)

I hope you have fun on your vacation (I think) to france.

Good thinking; when I get back I could post some of the pictures I take on this board.

 

And aye, it is a vacation. One in which I do a lot of art, but one nonetheless.

That sounds so lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time :3

Have a good time on there! Paris is just fantastic! Everything on there is like: "Wow! Glamour!"

I've always wanted to go to France, I'm super jealous of you! ;) Enjoy your trip, and post all about it when you get back!

I meant to read this yesterday so I'm late - but I hope you're having a fantastic time (I imagine you are!) and I cannot wait to hear your stories when you get back and see the photos.

Thank you for all the nice messages; I just got back. I had an amazing time! Truly did so. We did everything. By everything I mean the Louvre, Montmartre, Pere Lachaise, Army Museum (that was more the boyfriend's idea, and we ended up six hours in there - SIX HOURS!) ... Twas wonderful. I have photographs and all, but quite too many to upload, but here are a few of my favourites because I promised to upload some.

 

This was at Napoleon's tomb. The boyf such a history boffin insisted on coming here ... Twice!

 

And this one made me laugh so much because here he is doing a crazy stare next to Napoleon's coat.

 

Versailles, for you all to see. The place was massive.

 

The Sacre-Coeur, from outside. Very lovely and cool inside, made such a change from the 30 odd degrees outside.

 

And finally another interesting frescoe. They were everywhere, seriously.

Welcome back! :D Those pictures are gorgeous. It looks like there was a lot of amazing things to see.

Wow, nice pictures! Looks like you had a good time. I went to France once but never got to see Versailles - so jealous! :D

In my opinion, whilst Versailles was beautiful and all - it was very, very touristy. Had to queue for about an hour to even get in - and then once in all the rooms were so packed one could hardly see a thing. This would be my only criticism, its a shame when amazing places get like that.

But definitely if you go back, take a visit there. Maybe go in the morning when its less crowded though ;)
