The view out of our hotel room the first night. It was Christmas Eve and the snow was swirling all around us.
We drove up to the north of France on Christmas day and stayed two night in a castle in Sedan. The next day we drove over to Belgium just because we were so close. We bought lots of chocolate, ate mussles, and walked around the quaint little town.
Notre Dame in Reims was surprisingly more grand and impressive than Notre Dame in Paris. But it was very cold inside so we did not stay long as my gma couldnt handle the cold.
The hall down the side of the church.
Some of the stained glass had a very modern feel to it.
Nan and I under the rose window. She was cold.
Denette and I walking down the streets of Paris with our baguette just like all the other French people.
The Garnier Opera house in Paris. We saw the bartered bride.

A beautiful stroll by the river Siene.
The river was flooded due to the snow so I couldnt walk down next to it.
The city streets all decorated for the holidays.
The arch at the end of our street.
