Paris connection

Let me take u to place I had been so that u can know what these places are and u can also visit these virtually. I have made my best to capture the details here.

Trip to Paris started with a bang, myself, Ramesh, Dalareen & Gayathri went. Narasimha didn’t want to come as he had already visited it, that’s the saddest part as we missed the photographer of the group, it was captured by an budding expert Gayathri. We traveled from Grenoble to Paris in TGV (Train a grand vitesse, meaning High-Speed train). This journey of 650 km was covered in just done in 3 hrs. Check out more info on TGV ICI


After reaching Paris we went to all places mentioned below. First destination was Arc-de-trimph. Then went to Arch de defence and later to museum of the army and invalides. There we met a nice person who is from Pondicherry who is serving the French army. So we managed to get a free ticket for the entry to invalides. He explained beautifully about the museum and about Napoleon. From there we went to the Tower Eiffel and had a splendid view of the Paris from there both in the evening and night. There after the next day we went to Versailles and spent the morning there. From there straight to NotreDame and the evening in Louvre then back to Grenoble
