France Trip Review: Paris, Versailles, D-Day Beaches, Mont St Michel, Loire Valley, Dijon, Lyon, Bordeaux, Wine Tour, Food

Most enjoyable or memorable parts of trip to France? Easy. The food and wine were, as advertised! Best boeuf bourguignon ever! Ever! Salad Lyonnaise, onion soup, mussels, oysters, snails, and other food I can't pronounce, or spell, or adequately describe was absolutely wonderful. Did I mention we had dinner one night in a cheese cellar? We did Burgundy and Bordeaux wine tours and tastings. We had a list, and we checked every box: Paris, Versailles, D-Day Beaches, Mont St Michel, Loire Valley, Dijon, Lyon, and Bordeaux. That's a lot in 2 weeks. Memories everywhere we went will last a lifetime. Beyond the food, highlights include the Eiffel Tower (of course), Napoleon's tomb, the little place we stayed in Bayeux where our host was the Martha Stewart of Normande (my nickname for her), the D-Day immersion, the wine museum in Bordeaux, the mustard we brought home from Dijon, Chateau Chenonceau, the Burgundy wine tour that was like a one-day college course, and a pizza as good as any we had in Italy! (Yes, we strayed from French, but only for one meal.)
