I had a great time with my dad in France! I'm so lucky he wanted to come and do a bike tour!
We spent one week in Paris visiting the sights: Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Notre Dame, Mont Martre, Canal St. Martin, River Seine, and several major train stations. I think the train stations were dad's favorite part. We also rode lots of trains. We stayed a bit outside of Paris in a calm, clean and modern commuter suburb with a cute and friendly boulangerie, and a nice walk every morning and evening. We took the RER A red line every day, and different metro trains all over the city. By the end of the week, dad understood all the crazy tunnels, escalators and signs, and was able to navigate on his own.
We met my friend Marie-Helene for dinner at her favorite, local restaurant where we tasted all kinds of different foods, and delicious wine.
The bike tour was fun and gorgeous! Dad had a rough start, getting back on the bike after a week of using different muscles for only walking, and eating rich French foods. By the second day, he was in full form, having fun, enjoyibg the scenery, castles, and wine :)
