Over the last week we made several two-hour train rides south as we explored more of France. Today we began the trip back to Paris as our time in France is coming to an end.
This morning we went for an early walk in Carcassone to a local patisserie for our now standard French breakfast: coffee/tea/hot chocolate & pastries. We quickly packed up and headed to the train station for a short train trip to Narbonne where we transferred to a high speed train for a 4 hour ride to Paris. We’re starting to get good at train travel and we now know our favorite baguette sandwiches to travel with.
We arrived in Paris and headed to our hotel in Les Marais. After dropping off our luggage we hopped on the Metro and went to the famous Avenue de Champs-Elysees. Kelsey made a stop at the Apple Store to replace an AirPod she left behind at a hotel. Lindsey went in search of macarons at the famous Laduree shop. We also made a stop at the official Paris 2024 Olympics merchandise store. Clearly this was a European merchandise store since it was the size of a cargo container. A US merch store would be much much bigger.
Next stop, one of the best views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower: the top of the Arc de Triomphe. The views of Paris were amazing and well worth the incredible stair workout to get up to the rooftop. It was nice to be back in Paris.
