Our grand Parisian adventure is drawing to a close! The Ladies Who Voyage had planned one last day trip, but after all the magnificent touring and stair-climbing, we unanimously agreed on a second down day. Sometimes, the best itinerary is no itinerary at all!

We spent the morning simply enjoying the beautiful resort and allowing ourselves to truly laze around. It was perfect. We then took a final walk down to the village market to shop for dinner. Tonight’s menu is pure comfort: leftover Bolognese with pasta, plus fresh broccoli and mushrooms, all paired with a lovely bottle of Rosé.

As I sat there soaking up the atmosphere, I couldn’t help but start planning my return! This trip has been so incredible that I know I have to come back—I’m already eyeing a trip in January or February. Next time, I plan to bring the “love of my life” because I absolutely have to share this city with him.

Tomorrow, we’ll simply Uber to the airport and be home before we know it. I’m already feeling that bittersweet departure, but as they say in my favorite movie, “We will always have Paris.”

I waited a long time to get here, but it was absolutely worth every moment. As a physician, I’ve spent years focused on helping others, and this trip was a precious reminder of the importance of travel, friendship, and joy.

To the Seasoned Travelers who arranged this incredible voyage—thank you. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for inviting me to share this unforgettable experience.

Until next time, from The Ladies Who Voyage!
