Phoenix travellers take a moment to rest in front of the imposing Notre Dame cathedral.

The gardens at Versailles are impressive in any season.

Even more impressive at Versailles is the great Hall of Mirrors where the Sun King’s throne sits.

A highlight of our trip was shopping for ingredients for an authentic French dinner which we cooked ourselves at Rodney’s and Alfred’s apartment. We enjoyed the Bedell family’s hospitality and a truly delicious French dinner. It was a special time for connecting with old friends and meeting new friends as well.

Jeffrey represents how we all felt after a wonderfull and very busy week in Paris as he rests while waiting for the plane to take us home.
