Louvre and Notre Dame

Paris

Our last day in France. We just finished a light lunch after a 3 hour tour of the city, and now we are waiting for the bus to take us to the Louvre. It's been a great trip but we are ready to come home! See y'all soon!

Beaune

We spent most of the day on a bus, but we did stop for a couple hours in the Burgundy region in a town called Beaune. We arrived in Paris at about 6:00 and are now heading up to our hotel room. Sightseeing tomorrow.

Cormatin

Today we visited a small village of 900 people. It is kind of a fairy book town, very picturesque with a castle and moat and what was once a drawbridge. The wood paneling and artwork was amazazing!

Lyon

This is the town that Blake is coming to serve as Mission President in a couple of months. They didn't mention that on our tour though. This is the 3rd largest city in France.

Vienne

This town is famous for the very well preserved Roman temple dating back over 2,000 years that is still in use, as well as the ancient Roman theater where they hold the annual world famous Jazz festival. This is also where the Pope and French King met and proclaimed the end of the Knights Templar and ordered them tortured and killed.

Tournon

Just a short stop to this small town this morning. This area is famous for it's wine. I'm afraid it's wasted on us.
