The current turmoil in France messed us up a bit—our flight from Rome to Paris was delayed due to strike action somewhere in the aviation pipeline, and the tour we booked for Tuesday got cancelled, but those are just minor bumps in the road. Our hotel is lovely, we had a great French dinner (love that croque monsieur!), and then the boys and I climbed 284 steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe for a brilliant view of the Paris lights. Can’t wait to explore tomorrow!
