Back in the saddle! After 20 months of no flying we finally couldn’t take it anymore and as soon as we could we got on a plane.
Flights were wide open still so we flew standby to the City of Lights and had a lovely time just being.

Paris was unusually empty – even for August – as there were practically no tourists in town. In addition to seeing some old haunts in Paris, we spent a few days castle hopping in the Loire Valley.
