Sunday, June 23, 2019 - Once back in Paris, our base was in the charming area of St Germain at a Virtuosso property. We toured the D'Orsay Museum, the Muse de Invalides and took a hop-on/hop-off bus tour around Paris. Cal and Elizabeth went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. We were lucky in that the FIFA women's soccer matches were going on at stadiums in Paris and around France so once we settled back into the hotel in the afternoons and got to watch the playoffs. Both the U.S. and French teams were in the finals.
