Trip to Paris

10 years after our honeymoon in Paris we used Mia first vacation in first grade - a week of fall break - for a three day trip to Paris. Its only a three hour trip from Mannheim by TGV (High Speed Train) that goes as fast as 320 km/h (200 mph )



We left at 10 in the morning and arrived at our hotel not far from the Gare de l"Est a bit after 1 pm. The first trip was to the Champ de Mars to show Mia the Eiffel tower but she first wanted to check out the playgrounds there.


She loved the old carousel where one gad to poke with a stick at rings


Then we headed to the Eiffel tower


We took the stairs up to the first platform




 After comming down Mia wanted to try another old fashioned carousell

 Some more pictures

 And after diner it was back to the hotel room with its view of the train station
