Day 4 - Jen in Paris: Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower
On the fourth day the French-speaking daughter arrived, and our feeble slaughter of the language abated. Jen took a TGV from Lille to Paris, and we spent the day discovering more of the city, this time sans language barrier.
Our objectives for the day were to visit Musée d'Orsay,Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower. We accomplished all three, and were not disappointed. We were also not disappointed with Jen's command of the French language, having spent a good two months as an American exchange student at a French university. While the clerks, waiters and waitresses of Paris had been patient with us, they were patient for French people, if you know what I mean. |
