We indulged in an overnight trip from Venice to Paris on the Orient Express. Ever since I read Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express as a child, I have dreamed about this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Below, Theo disembarking in Paris.
With our friends Russ and Gina Wilcox, whose family sabbatical 12 years ago inspired ours, we spent several days in the Provençal countryside. We biked, explored several villages, and had unforgettable meals. Above and below, our visit to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh produced a prodigious amount of art while undergoing psychological treatment (his actual room, below).
Hudson and I took a guided motorcycle/sidecar tour of Paris (our guide drove the moto!). Endless fun whizzing about the city! We all also took a virtual reality “jet pack joy ride” tour, which was gratifyingly lots of fun!
Hudson was enchanted by the Louvre and we could have easily spent hours more after seeing the Mona Lisa, Jacques-Louis David’s Coronation of Napoleon (his fave), Winged Nike, Venus de Milo, countless Egyptian and Persian antiquities, the Sphinx of Tanis and so much more.
The Iphone is mightier than the spear!
After a Seine River cruise, we couldn’t resist a selfie with the Eiffel Tower!
