Just back from our trip to Normandy with 2 days in Paris. Your directions from CDG via RER were spot on. Unfortunately, the connector in St. Michel was closed for repairs. BUT, we had so many wonderful English speaking Parisians help us out that getting lost was part of our adventure. Thx for all of your wonderful tips! A boat ride on the Seine, a stop at the Eiffel Tower, and a Nutella crepe in your honor, Antoine, filled our day! 😊

[@sherrieshatzen3801]

Maybe you could talk about Le Reveillon for Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve. It is so wonderful & there is nothing like it in the US. Depending on the restaurant it is usually necessary to make reservations (as far in advance as possible). Also maybe talk about some of the French holiday customs. My first Christmas in Paris I loaded up on gifts for Christmas only to find out that in general the bigger gift giving day is New Year's Day. Also good to know--if you are going to do Le Reveillon at home rather than in a restaurant--you can find excellent dinner options in your local street market. In the Rue de Seine (my local market) there was an extravaganza of choices from paella to fresh seafood to beautiful cheeses to special breads & amazng desserts. Great guest worthy meal, no cooking.
