The Hammonds Head to France

Saturday, June 29, 2024: Day 1 of a Hammond Family Adventure. It was a long first day. The evening of Friday, June 28th, Greg & Karen left from Boston, MA and Kelsey & Lindsey from Atlanta, GA on overnight flights arriving in Paris, France early Saturday morning. In Hammond Family style we “hit the ground running” and were determined to stay up all day to get on the new time zone.

Our first stop, a French Cafe
On Rue Cler

After a brief check in at our hotel and breakfast with caffeinated beverages (Lindsey tried her first cup of coffee), we explored Paris with a walk to the Louvre where we spent a couple of hours seeing some incredible art and artifacts with a Rick Steves audio tour.

The rest of the afternoon we walked around Paris, enjoyed our first happy hour and dinner at a Paris cafe, and viewed the Eiffel Tower at night to see the twinkling lights that sparkle every hour.

Always looking for a bubble tea!
Notre-Dame Cathedral is still being repaired.


We made it! Besides a quick power nap before dinner, we covered many miles and really enjoyed our first day in Paris.
