How it is Liz

Place du Tertre in Paris is a great place to stroll through! This is a very charming area. Lots of quaint shops and unique restaurants lining the street. All the lights and music playing made for a wonderful night. We didn't see any of the artists out in the evening, unfortunately. I hope to return in the summer to see this plaza come alive during the day!

I'm so thankful I made the time to visit Chateau d'Angers! This medieval fortress is definitely something to be seen while in Angers France. We were able to purchase affordable tickets on site. There is no need to order in advance. The immense tapestry of the apocalypse is absolutely amazing! We were in a bit of a hurry, so we opted out of using the audio guide. I wish we had more time to listen in detail! The views from outside the Chateau are lovely! You can walk the wall easily. It's a great place to take photos too! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my visit.

Absolutely spectacular in every way! The Chateau de Chambord is one of the most opulent castles I've ever seen . If you are anywhere near the Loire Valley, I encourage you to make the trip to see this! The drive up to the castle is exciting! Seeing this architectural masterpiece from a distance is awe-inspiring. I'm amazed and perplexed to see how it was actually designed and brought to life. It's mind-boggling to imagine! The magic staircase alone by itself is beyond incredible!! I can't imagine what it was like actually living here! The history is amazing. Everything about this castle is wildly impressive!!

A delectable buffet at the Maligne Lake Chalet! There were so many options to choose from! Salads, meats, pasta, and desserts were all incredibly good. The service was smooth and efficient. I'm not normally a big fan of buffets. However, this one I really enjoyed! We visited with a tour group and had a fantastic speaker joining us. Beautiful surroundings! My visit to this quaint chalet was perfect in every way!

We were looking for a restaurant and bar close to the cruise ship terminal, El Mundo seemed like the obvious choice! It was right there only a few minutes away and super convenient. We sat ourselves and were thankful to beat the rush of the cruise crowd. Shortly after we arrived, they began turning away customers as they were filled to capacity. We ordered the shrimp tacos and a few drinks. It took almost an hour for the food to arrive. Drinks were OK, but they could have used a little more spirit added to them. I believe the staff was trying their best to accommodate everyone. Make sure you have enough time to spend here without having to stress if the service is slow. If you are in a rush, I recommend ordering your food and drinks at the same time. Then, request the check as soon as your food arrives so you don't have to wait to find your server.
