13. What a wonderful city to be able to visit many times!

Looks like your kid was very limited in his experience!

The French Open? Or other tennis/sporting event?

I guess I was on the ?balcony of Musée de Orsay where I saw the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur in the distance. Impressive!

I didn't have time and probably would not go up to the highest Eifel Tower point -but maybe the first level up.
It was a joy to just walk around by, underneath it!

Another cool thing was seeing the then French campaign for The Olympics - big ad on the street. Which they were awarded x years later!'

And ?Ponte Alexander Bridge! Those gorgeous golden Pegasuses and women trumpeters! Wow!
And the cherub, and lamps.

Of course I spent time walking along The Seine and the booksellers!

Probably the one place we didn't go to that I really would have liked to see (saw a bit from a distance) was The ? Grand Palace.
