In August our friends, Ellie and Jo came to visit us in Paris. 

John, Fiona, Ellie & Jo sailing along the Seine, Paris

 

 

This was their first trip to Paris, so the girls wanted to see lots of the famous tourist sights in this wonderful city,

 

 

 

 

 

 

and what better way to begin than to sail along the Seine.
