After two years of being unable to travel, it was wonderful to finally return to Paris. My trip was short and Paris was hot and crowded ( we all wanted to be there! ). I revisited many favorites like Luxembourg Gardens and Monet's Gardens and saw The Louvre for the first time. Fortunately I was able follow my Paris visit by visiting friends at an estate in Tuscany. It was lush and cool and very relaxing. Cetona was the closest village and you will see it in the views. It's history dates back to the 10th Century.
