Paris...a trip of a lifetime!
My husband Ed and I recently guided an ART Vacation with 10 artist/students from Hidden Talent Art School. Where do artists dream of going? PARIS of course!
Most of us traveled together from Edmonton on Icelandic Air, a recent addition to carriers at our airport.
The trip was shorter ( different route of going over the North Pole) and we got off in Iceland only to pass through customs and return to the same plane, BUT different seats- an interesting way to do it!Some of our group were visiting Iceland on the way back- another fabulous opportunity.
We checked into our hotel- 2 blocks from the Louvre in the St. Germaine area. Not enough cam be said about our location- we walked almost everywhere, we ate at amazing cafes and restaurants, we had major shopping districts 5 minutes away. Our hotel was great-a bit of renovation not quite finished but a good continental breakfast and wonderful staff.
So off we go, jet lagged but hungry, to have our first taste of French cuisine! The Petit Zinc, a famous Art Nouveau restaurant was ready for the 12 of us- of course we Canadians ate way to early (6:30) and that's probably why they could accommodate all of us without a reservation! No one eats before 8:00 at the earliest! Our new quest- to find the perfect Creme Brulee!
