The sun has finally come out in Paris! Our first two days were overcast with frequent light showers but this morning, as I look over the city from our small balcony, the weather is perfect: sunny and blue skies with the occasional white clouds.

Travel at such an exhausting pace, really non-stop, is bound to catch up with you sooner or later and we're starting to feel it now. Though, we're both amazed at just how quickly we adjusted to the time change with zero jet lag! Perhaps our excitement overcame any change in time.

We're off to the Louvre and the Eiffle Tower this morning. Need to check out but thankfully the hotel has a luggage room and they'll gladly keep the bags until later this evening.

Here's a few more pictures from yesterday. (Click to enlarge.)

I just couldn't wait for the tasting any longer and had to help myself.


Moi outside the walls of Tattinger. So many Champagne Houses and so little time!


Bread and cheese never tasted so scrumptious!


Our picnic lunch.


While on the tour at VCP, which is of course a working House, we were shown crates of Champagne that had actually just been disgorged hours before. Notice the date!


The recently disgorged bottles. These will be shipped out in a matter of days to locations around the world.

Pommery Champagne. Lots of money here, folks.


We both signed the guest book at Champagne Pommery.

We're soon off for our last day in Paris. Thanks for reading!
