Paris

Looking up at the Eiffel Tower’s iron arches lit gold against a dark blue sky, a crowd below.

My Mom and I spent a few days in Paris at the turn of November 2019, near the start of our trip through Spain, France, England, and Morocco. Paris was our base: from here we took a day trip to Normandy, from the Mémorial de Caen to Pointe du Hoc in Cricqueville-en-Bessin, Omaha Beach at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, Colleville-sur-Mer, and Arromanches-les-Bains, and another by train to London. In between, we saw the Louvre lit up at night, went up the Arc de Triomphe, and stood under the Eiffel Tower after dark. I had been here before, in the summer of 2006, when I studied abroad in Paris in college.
