In Courtenay I contacted Scott and we talked about the types of automatic arms to put on our front gate.
Over in London this morning the family headed to the train station to take the Eurostar to Paris! Cousins Evelina & Lucas, along with Lina, joined them! Tomas and Sofia stayed home in London.
Once in Paris they waited for 15 minutes for an Uber before deciding to walk 30 minutes in 29 degrees Celcius heat to their Air B&B.
After a short rest break in the apartment, and a few rain showers, they ventured out to see the Louvre museum (see photo to the right)!
ChatGPT tells us: “The Louvre in Paris is the world’s largest and most visited art museum, housing more than 35,000 works of art spanning thousands of years of human history. Originally built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century and later transformed into a royal palace, it became a public museum during the French Revolution in 1793. Today it is best known as the home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the ancient Greek sculpture Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Its striking glass pyramid entrance, completed in 1989, has become one of Paris’s most recognizable landmarks, blending modern architecture with the museum’s historic grandeur“.
After a late dinner they went back to the apartment to recuperate!
