Christmas in Paris

Bonjour!

Our second Rick Steves Tour

Was to Paris in December of 2024

Christmas in Paris!

Who could ask for more

...

My daughter, Dr. Alexis and I

Arrived in Paris on Christmas Day,

Dropped off our luggage,

And quickly went on our way.

...

The Eiffel Tower of course

Was our first destination.

We went to the summit

Without hesitation.

...

What a wonderful experience

And sight to behold,

Stories to share

And memories to unfold.

...

We were at the Hotel de Londres Eiffel,

The charming residence for our stay.

We had the pleasure of meeting Richard at the front desk

On our very first day.

...

Richard answered our questions,

Gave us detailed information,

And provided a map to show us the way.

Yes! Paris here we are

What more can we say!

...

We had the most marvelous tour guide.

Rolinka was very informative, creative, and amusing,

She made us feel at ease.

Rolinka was the best,

We were very well-pleased.

...

Rolinka looked out for us.

She taught us how to navigate on our own,

Provided helpful information

That allowed us to travel alone.

...

Vincent, our Palace of Versailles tour guide

Was very insightful, humorous, and intelligent

Definitely one of a kind

He made us feel as if we had

Stepped back in time

...

We took the best souvenir from Paris,

It was the places and people

That we may never see again.

Yes! Going to Paris was definitely a win!

...
Rolinka, we love you “It’s complicated” :)

Dr. Alexis and Ellen

December 25th-31st, 2024

And a win you would score.

You've already taken.
