PARIS

Next stop was Paris for 5 days. We had an apartment 500m walk from Eiffel Tower. Molly loved Paris and continued to eat ice-cream as much as she could.

Eiffel Tower with Mummy

Eiffel Tower with Daddy

Look a puppy! (we heard that alot)

This playground is so much fun!

Enjoying ice cream from Berthillion (Thanks to recommendations from friends)

The ONLY swing we found in all of France (at the back of Notre Dame) This was Molly's 'concerntration' look as the swing was meant for 'bigger' kids

Ready to climb the stairs of the Eiffel Tower

Lots of stairs to climb to get to the 2nd level of the Eiffel Tower

I just need to put the money in here.....

Look over there Daddy

After 670 stairs (and walking 590 of them) Molly needed a rest!

From the corner of our street after a big climb up the Tower

So we are on the Concord.... the Arc de Triumph is around here somewhere.....

Ah, just up the Champs Elysees

When it's raining, I wear my raincoat.

Yum! Although I did prefer Mum's Duck Foie Gras

Fun playground (see the Eiffel Tower in the top right corner:)

London Baby!

We had a quick stop in London and made the most of it.

Molly had lots of fun!
Molly loved the London Eye
Molly thought it would be a good idea to take Iggle Piggle for the ride
All the sights were seen
That's a really big Lion!

Yep, still big

What the??

Tower of London, across the road from our hotel
Ready for lunch at Gordon Ramsay's MAZE Restaurant
One more ride on the Tube

St Emillion

The next stop was St Emillion (just outside of Bordeaux). We stayed in the centre of the town for 6 days, that was mostly a pedestrian zone and the town was once fortified. Very Beautiful.

Our first activity was to climb the bell tower.... it was on this activity we confirmed that Molly is not afraid of heights, small spaces or the dark.
Look..... vineyards
This is so much fun I think I'll dance!
We found the only park in St Emillion that had a slide with 'owls' on the sides. Molly loved sliding on HOOT
Just cute
While Mum & Dad had snails for lunch, Molly had ham and chips
and ice-cream
I can't push this really big heavy door open.....
Just chilling out in the streets
Crazy!
Cuddles with Dad
More ice-cream
All gone
Exciting about the 'train' ride
Molly decided 'Iggle Piggle' would like the ride too

Sete.... on a rainy Easter Weekend

We travelled from Nice to Sete and spent 2 nights on a rainy weekend.....

It was a little chilly- so the wool hat came out
Molly thought this was the best part of Sete
And loved the Croissants
Oh, and a spot of shopping

Ahhh, this is the life



Our first stop in France was Nice, for 5 days. We had a great apartment overlooking the Port of Nice- so many nice boats.....

Molly (and her doll Sally) love to smell flowers :)
Molly got to experience her first ride on a 'Carousel' (This one overlooks the French Riviera)
I think you see how much she liked it!
'Miss Independent' insisted on walking up the stair to the Nice Lookout


Really worth it when we found a park at the top
