My family and I have fully recovered from our wonderful trip to France in April.  We were there for two weeks without one drop of rain - great for us, but not so good for the dirty streets.

We spent one week in a small city about 2 hours from Paris, the second week we were guests at the Novotel Hotel on the rue Vaugirard.  It was very pleasant, great memories and lots of family fun.

 The best part, my husband and I got two nights off on our own.  One night we went to the Moulin Rouge.  It was really good, I haven’t been to this type of thing in years, but it was really fun to get out and do adult stuff.  The highlight for me was the can can number.  I think more of the show should be focused on this part as it is fun and entertaining.  The food was ok, the service really nice and the alone time divine!

Our second night out was a cruise on the Bateaux Parisienne… it was fantastic!! We got the window seats and had the middle menu option.  I don’t remember everything but the food was delicious, I got quite tipsy on this night with all the champagne and ran most of the way back to the hotel even though I didn’t know where I was going.  The highlight is seeing the Eiffel Tower at night, the boat launches from the foot of the tower.

I’ll be back with more…
