2éme jour à Paris

22nd december: visa application in the morning, the process was more smooth than we had expected and the officer told us to expect our passports with visa in two or three days by chronopost (ps: but up to now - 2nd Jan - Selina had to go to the embassy this morning to collect Antoine's passport and she is in a train coming back to Bourg now, and my visa is still not issued, so Ming Ming and I will surely miss our flight on the 4th Jan).

Afternoon, it was cold and I was sick (vomitted everything I had eaten the night before and after lunch. Thomas and Ann-cécile: it was not the dinner that you had prepared, four out of seven in the family Cadoux was sick during this time). But we still spent the whole afternoon walking around in Paris. The city is charming even when you are sick. Big Thanks to Selina, who knows Paris like her own home, guided us from Les Halles to Notre Dame to La Gare Saint Lazare, crossing all the interesting small streets and famous monuments. And, it is her who took all the picures that I put up here.

Poor Ming Ming slept through the promenade and missed all the scenery. She woke up before we entered Notre Dame but then it was too dark for her inside.
she laughed even when her parents




In front of the galary where Selina curated an exhibition on photography. Unfortunatley it was closed during our stay in Paris.
