LE HAVRE (PARIS), France - Wednesday, April 26,2017

Nestled beside a Seine River estuary, Le Havre is France's second largest port. It's central city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During WW II, Le Havre was completely destroyed and subsequently has been completely rebuilt.  Our mission for the day was to take the shore excursion into Paris for the day.  We enjoyed a 2 hour drive, through Normandy to Paris. Once there the bus did an hour tour around central Paris.  This was very interesting as we saw many lesser known points of interest.  Then we were left on our own for 3 hours.

What did we do?  Walked, walked and walked.  Along the way we did quite a few geocaches.  It was a cold day and it started raining near the end of our time!  Did not take many photos because we have been here before and have lots of good shots. Here are a few ...

 
Had to get the Eiffel Tower!  We were all bundled up with 4 layers of clothing.

 
 

Liberty flame .... where people still lay flowers in memory of Diana.  Also the LOCKS...had to be thousands of them around the monument.

 
 

Norte Dame cathedral and the Ferris wheel. 

It was a good day and we figure we have done Paris!  The people who stayed behind and explored Le Havre were disappointed in the city.  The best part of the day though was the drive through Normandy!

Alll for now, love to all
