Bill and Teri on Rick Steves' Loire to the South of France Tour Sept. 2013
We arrived at our Paris hotel near the Eiffel Tower early Saturday afternoon. After checking in, we set out to explore a part of Paris south of the River Seine. We walked to the Eiffel Tower, then strolled along the riverbank. What a pleasure to be out on such a clear, sunny day. We had dinner at an outdoor café, then called it a night.
The next morning we took the train to Chartres. We arrived shortly before noon, had crepes for lunch at a small cafe, then explored the town until time to meet our tour group and guide. Chartres is a charming town. We especially enjoyed walking along the river.
