East Bound and down

East Bound was an understatement, I crossed the Atlantic and would up in Paris. Yeah, I know I said I was going to New York and I did see it from the plane, but I wasn’t ready yet. Soon, I promise.

The Ape has been to Paris about 150 times, but never went to Jardin Des Tuileries before. This beautiful 2,500 acre park is one of the largest in Paris and was flooded with students using the natural beauty as a backdrop for painting. The ape even struck a pose and was in a painting. The artist called it “Ape in the mid-day.”

If you are going to eat in Paris and you will want to because there are endless dining options, you will want to make a reservation. The Ape had an excellent meal at La Tour D’argent which has a world famous wine selection and a great banana pie. Ok, they don’t really have banana pie, but the wine was the best on earth.

I always finish up my trips to Paris with a visit to the Crazy Horse Saloon. This cabaret has exotic females in choreographed numbers and had been a Parisian staple since 1951.

Paris is a beautiful city and one that is best enjoyed with a travel partner. Not the Ape though, Travelape travels alone.
