Link to First Five Years of "Dora's Page", 2019-2024
I'm making a real Dora's Page meal out of just hours we spent walking around central Paris. Having seen the Louvre and all that long before, we were glad to just stroll in gardens and confusing streets. But rain began to fall, also dusk, as we saw Notre Dame, through a lot of her reconstruction, work still going on inside:
We had taken a hotel basically across the street from the train station we needed to leave from, the next morning. Down the street was the very tourist-visited "Cafe Paris", which was a Restaurant of Light, all warmly lit inside, full of mirrors, an old classic look. But it was excellent food on the daily plate specials, nonetheless. So we had a classic tourist supper there, and our first day of vacation ended on a high note.
