Paris with a side of Provence and Brussels. We stayed in an apartment at Le Marais, a historic district in Paris, a wonderful combination of the old world charm and modern day convenience. Bakeries, fromageries and all manner of delicious food offering places made it a special treat. Add to that the sites of Paris, a day trip to Provence, and a day trip to Brussels, what else could one wish for? A walk through a Christmas market anyone?
