No wild camping along the trail, but campsites are available within the caravan parks (you pass several along the way).

🥰🥰🥰

Everything is very close in a chambre de bonne - and I learned to be very tidy and clean. I also rarely cook in Paris and eat most of my meals out. But let’s just say I was happy the toilet was separate down the hall (albeit shared) 😂

Haha I know! I was expecting it to be and feel much more tiny than it was. I find it fascinating how our perspectives and expectations change how we experience things.

Totally worth it! Can’t wait to go again with Gracie on some of the dog friendly sections 🫶

It truly is a beautiful and well kept building ☺️

Each to their own! I found it to be more than enough space for me ☺️

We shared an AirBNB which was pretty affordable once spilt between us.

Merci beaucoup ! Vous êtes très gentil. Et, j'aime beaucoup Orléans ! C'est une de mes villes préférées en France. 🫶 Pourquoi es-tu allé en Australie ? Quelle randonnée prévoyez-vous dans les Blue Mountains ?

​@@TravelwithLizzie Hi Lizzie, We moved to Melbourne as a whole family, for at least 3 years if not more, to follow my husband whose (French) company offered him the opportunity to be an expat in their Australian office. As for me, I'm working (100% remotely of course...) with my own French company while completing a Master's degree ;) In the Blue Mountains, I'll be doing the Grand Cliff Top Walk, over 2 days but adding a lot of detours (Wentworth Falls bottom, Valley of the Waters, the Infinity Pool in Leura Cascades, the Giant Stairway in the Three Sisters, and an afternoon in Scenic World), and also the Grand Canyon and Govetts Leap. Voilà, you know everything :D

There’s a link in the description ☺️

The wallpaper is one of my favourite features - made it feel so bright, light and roomy (in person)

Chambre de bonnes aren’t for everyone ☺️

@@TravelwithLizzie Whether for everyone or no one, a chambre de bonne below a certain square footage is legally unrentable. There are over 100,000 of these tiny bedsits all over Paris, most without bathrooms or running water & many, maybe the majority, are sitting empty under Parisian rooftops as they are too small to rent out. Hence, the OP's question: Is it even legal to rent this space to you? If below 85 sq feet or so, then no (unless the minimum size was updated).

I posted after I left the apartment. But thank you for thinking of me! 🫶

@@TravelwithLizzie 🥰

Merci beaucoup ! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and your 2nd visit to the Centre Pompidou 🫶

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Amazing trip or adventure?

@@TravelwithLizzie Yes, it was more than a trip. It was a fabulous adventure. Looking forward to the next one.

Me too 🫶

Me too!

Thank you 😊

Thanks for the tip! It’s my eternal battle with myself to speak slower - especially when I’m excited and passionate about something 😂

Agreed, what’s your favourite?

@@TravelwithLizzie Your number one is mine too!

@@suewhiting love this 🫶

So tiny but so good!

It’s only available to climb in the summer months, I suggest booking your tickets in advance as it’s only accessible on the tour. The camino from Paris is called the Chemin de Compostelle, I’ll be taking the via Orléans route through the Loire Valley. Bon chemin!

@@TravelwithLizzie Thank you. I do not know when I will be in Paris next, but I am certain to return. I have a love affair with Paris, and she never fails to welcome, comfort, and delight me. I looked up the Chemin de Compostelle, and it sounds like a wonderful journey! You are going all the way to Santiago de Compostela? I envy you. I began coming to France in 1987 and intended to establish a sort of base in Paris from which I would travel the rest of the country, and other parts of Europe. Once my love affair with Paris began, it was difficult to leave. Mostly I got away to spend summers and a few times where I had a month or two in the Haute Garonne; and other times cruised west of Paris in and around Chevreuse. Enjoy the camino, Lizzie, and continue enjoying life.

It is!

I totally could!

Glad to have helped! Have a great time in Paris ☺️

I’ve put a link in the description - enjoy!

I’ve always wanted to be called a ditz, so thank you so much! Please remember art is subjective, as it’s an expression of personal perspective - so we will all have our preferences and favourites, however ditzy it may seem to another person. I agree, the Louvre has an incredible and extensive collection… however I find it’s nice to take in a collection pint size (without the crush of people and overwhelming number of pieces). The Musée d’Orsay is my favourite of the big museums in Paris (have a video on that too). Thank you for sharing your perspective! Always value hearing others opinions 🫶

I didn’t use the TV (and the sweets were only there temporarily as were a gift for a friend) ☺️

I know! The mirror was so awkward and practical. There was storage under the bed that I didn’t feel I needed to use, any higher and you’d have issues with opening the window.

Le train a mis une heure

130 kilometers

Trails with sets of three are definitely winners in Tassie!

Paris has so many amazing museums, and everyone's favourites are different. What's your favourite?

@@TravelwithLizzie Not everyone just (only) likes impressionists. My favourite museums in paris are Marmottan, Jacquemart-Andre, Nissim de Camondo and Carnavalet

Agreed, everyone will have their own favourites. I am a fan of the Marmottan too 😊

Fascinating!

Interesting :)

A swim spot on the mountain would be great!

I'd love for there to be a natural pool to swim in.

@@TravelwithLizzie there are springs in the drains.

Happy you’re happy ☺️

Agreed! There are so many different choices with a “best” for everyone. For me, this is definitely up with the best!

And one of the most breathtaking hikes I’ve ever done. The views around every corner were amazing!

It was an incredibly challenging but highly rewarding day! Thanks for joining on our adventure across the Tasman Peninsula 🫶

That’s the plan! I walked the Frances from SJPDP back in 2014 and so excited to start in Paris for my next one on the Chemin de Compostelle (via Orléans) 🫶 Have you walked the camino before?

I have not, but high hopes for some time soon. Thank you for the inspiration. @@TravelwithLizzie

@@pamelaemerson6309 Buen camino! You will have a beautiful time 🫶

I think it may have been my favourite…

Thanks so much! 🫶

@@TravelwithLizzie Life is for enjoying and l'Orangerie has been a pleasure of mine for decades. I am a glutton for pleasure and beauty. I have been to Paris 20 times or more. There are a few things I never miss and this is one of them. Typically, the plane from the U.S. lands between 8 and 9 in the morning and one of the ways I overcome jet lag is to get a big dose of sunshine by taking a nice walk. I like to arrive, drop off my luggage wherever I am staying, and take the Metro to somewhere like Chatelet or Saint Germain des Pres and take a nice walk to and through the Tuileries, then go through l'Orangerie to give myself a sumptuous dose of delicious culture. This way, the pleasure builds and there is appreciation for the exercise after 8 or 9 hours on a plane and the knowledge that the sunlight is helping my body's time clock to adjust. By the time I get to the Nympheas, I am ready to sit a while, and where is a better place to do so? It's good to have incentive to stay and enjoy this exquisite pleasure, occasionally moving to a different position. What follows is another walk in the sun, luxuriating in the passionate feeling I have for this grand lady of a city, so happy to be with her again, feeling the vibrations that never fail to comfort and delight.

Can’t wait for Day 3 next Sunday!

Good tips!

I’ve heard that Cathedral is amazing too!
