This will be our eighth trip boating on the rivers and canals of Europe and the fourth one in France! David and I are very much looking forward to exploring the Loire Valley and especially sampling the local wines! However during the first part of our trip, we will be sightseeing in Paris and visiting all the sites we missed when we were here before. In addition, we will be making a day trip to Versailles and Giverny! We will be joined by my long time friend, Adele (who fortunately, speaks a little French!) We booked the boat last month, but just this week, upgraded to a slightly nicer boat, the Salsa A! Now, my favorite part, the planning!
