Day 13 Lucerne - Paris - 17/10
In the morning we drove to Basel on the River Rhine and cross the border into France. There are vestiges of the Maginot line before we continue through the wine-producing region of Burgundy to the French capital - Paris.


Paris - The City of Light. No other city has such striking illuminations, We appreciated this city on our guided sightseeing night drive. We took in the Place de la Concorde, Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe (Art of Triumph) and of course the famed Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero. We embarked on the ever popular river boats along the Seine to admire the city of light.

Day 14 - Paris - 18/10
Notre Dame Cathedral
 
A guided tour of Notre Dame Cathedral - I believe my daughter will like this Cathedral because it is the birth of the story of 'Hunchback and the Notre Dame'. Next, we have a tour to one of the finest art galleries in the world - The Louvre, to admire the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo amongst the many thousands of exhibits in this former royal palace. We also ascended to the second stage of the Eiffel Tower to admire the city from on high. In the evening we have a farewell celebration to mark the end of our 15 days tour.

Day 15 Paris - London - 18/10
 
'Au revoir Paris' as we head for the coast and Calais where a short sea crossing brings us to England. Then a drive through Kent, the 'Garden of England', brings us back to London at the end of a memorable tour.
London - 19/10
 
We have additional 2 days stay in London, Since we are in the place where everyone speak the language that can be understood, we surely will take the opportunity to tour London. We visited St Paul Cathedral, Kensington Garden, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Nelson's Column, St James's Park etc, etc, etc.
