Welcome to my France scrapbook 2007.  Follow along with me as I relive my adventures in Paris, Normandy and the Loire Valley.  I hope I can convey the beauty, charm and awe inspiring highlights of this region.  This was my fourth Rick Steves tour...and I must say...it is the only way to travel!  I knew that this tour would be a great mix of guided activities and free time.  I was right to put my trust and travel dollars in the hands of Rick once again.  Kristen was an amazing guide.  And what can I say about France....I fell in love all over again.  From the solemn beaches of Normandy to the serene gardens of Giverny, to the mystical island of Mont St. Micheal and the posh cafés of Paris; I experienced “wow” moments around each bend in the road. Allons-y! Let’s go!
