Our first full day in Paris was 31 December. I started the day with an early morning walk down Blvd St. Michel to the river and Notre Dame. It felt like the city was all mine, there were so few people out and about.
Itty bitty cafe and a croissant for breakfast.
Our adventure for the day was to see Versailles. Unfortunately, everyone else had the same idea. We stood in line for a couple of hours in the courtyard just waiting to enter the palace, and then joined the sea of humanity inside. It was not pleasant.
A blessed pocket of solitude...
... before rejoining the herd.
After escaping back to Paris, we relaxed before heading out for our NYE dinner. We had a great meal with lots of Champagne, topped off with sparklers (indoors!) at midnight. We strolled toward Notre Dame and shouted "Bonne Annee!" to everyone we met.
Bonjour, 2014!
