Paris Redux

[Jim Kelly-Evans]

It's been a few years since our last visit to the City Of Light. We're here for a few days on either end of a Rhone riverboat trip through Burgundy and Provence. Needless to say we're loving our time here visiting some old favorites (The Louvre) and some new attractions (The Conciergerie.) We've also struck culinary gold a couple of times. Brasserie Mollard is directly across the street from our hotel, The Paris Opera Hilton. The hotel dates from the 1880s and features a beautiful Grand Salon. Seafood is a specialty at Mollard and it was delicious. Another outstanding dining experience was at Cafe de la Paix, located across the street from the Palais Garnier opera house (see photos.) Poor Notre Dame is still closed and under reconstruction from the terrible fire. A dinner cruise on the Seine was a highlight one evening. it's great to be back here in Paris.

Quite the lines at the Louvre ! Enjoy the Rhone riverboat trip or has that happened already? you 2 sure are ticking off what I think is a bucket list ! Have only been to Paris in the spring, never in the fall, once in February for my husband's birthday. He loves frogs legs, wonder if the restaurant on the left still is there ?

Were there Dec 2019 and the whole neighborhood around Notre-Dame still reeked of smoke. So sad.

It was a charter, Dennis, so I don't know the name of the cruise company. There are many bateau mouche operations along the banks, though. I'm sure you can easily find one to your liking.

Paris is amazing, architecture is totally fantastic, always want to come back to this city!

I stayed in several districts, I prefer the 6th arrondissement
