Impressions of France: Paris, Normandy, and Beyond

Two years ago, I shared my reactions as a provincial, ill-traveled New Yorker upon taking my family for the first time to Britain. We recently returned from eight days in Paris and two in Normandy. It was my first-ever trip to the European continent, which doubled as a 30th wedding anniversary trip and a family vacation with my son (age 28) and daughters (26 and 19). I share with you, dear readers, my impressions of France.
