The Paris Travelers are meeting at the Grandparents Homestead to start planning their upcoming trip to France.
Bella and her mother were both raised in Paris and suggest the best way to spend a longer visit in the City of Love is to rent an apartment.
The dates for their departure and arrival have been decided, so Bella can check what is available and reserve their space immediately.
Bella's daughter, Poppy, will be joining them on this journey as she won a scholarship to the Louvre to participate in the prestigious Color Wheel Class for Gifted Young Artists.
Becassine will be accompanying her Hittyville Friends to help take care of everyone and spend a bit of time with her own French family.
Bella's mother, Eloise, a native of Paris, served as the Head Gardener for the Monet Gardens for many years. Eloise was invited to teach a class on Monet's flowers at the Gardens during the month Bella and Vicki will be doing their research and Poppy will be attending her art class. Perfect timing!
Bella thinks she may have found just the right apartment for the large traveling party. Everyone needs their own space for their work and research and this two story loft looks perfect and will be available during the dates they will be in Paris.
This beautiful loft is located close to the Louvre and looks beyond amazing!
The spaciousness, lighting, and atmosphere look so inviting...
The loft has lots of seating which will be great for the many old friends Bella and Eloise hope to spend time with.
And then there is the courtyard!
The ladies unanimously decide to rent the loft and Bella offers to call the contact person immediately.
Vicki is overcome with excitement...
Now to make their plane reservations.
The Grand Adventure to Paris is now official!
Later at the Barn...
Vicki shares all her Paris news with Joe, who couldn't be happier for his beaming wife.
Now Vicki needs to decide what she will bring on her month long journey.
At the top of her list is a brand new journal to document every moment of this once in a lifetime experience!
~To be continued~
I can't believe that you are going to another country. I would NEVER dare to leave this country. It is to dangerous. You are very brave.
