On the way home, we were able to make a four-day stopover in Paris where we met 34 years earlier -- how romantic is that?! We loved seeing Notre Dame again, as well as other sights such as the incredible stained glass at Ste. Chapelle. Our hotel was in the Latin Quarter right across the river from Notre Dame on Rue de la Huchette, which was about 2 minutes walk from Notre Dame and had a very busy night life! We were on the 7th floor of an old hotel -- the lift was a very tight fit for us and our bags and only went to the 6th floor! But it was very quiet, especially when we closed the window. We never went further than about 200 feet to find a restaurant for dinner and there was a little place around the corner and farther up the street where we had croissant and jus d'orange and cafe every morning for breakfast. It was wonderful to soak in the atmosphere of Paris.
