Paris mini camino

Latest Posts

Susan and I met in Paris in 1989. This was our return visit. Using the very good self guided walking itineraries on the Paris tourism website, we walked more than 60 km over the four days covering the usual spots, but also numerous neighbourhoods less visited by tourists. Here are a few holiday snaps:

Chopin’s grave, Pere Lachaise cemetery. Jim Morrison’s grave – something of a pilgrimage for Doors fans – has been cleaned up and sanitized from what it was when I visited it in 1989.

In 2009, we embarked on a one-year family sailing adventure aboard a Grand Soleil 39, "SV Mulan". Our original sailing blog is linked on this site. In 2017, Susan, Andrew, Sam & Max walked the Camino Frances from St-Jean-Pied-de-Porte to Santiago de Compostella (and rode bikes from Burgos to Leon as a blister recovery strategy), and in 2018 Jack also joined the crew as we waled the northern section of the Camino Portuguese from Porto to S de C. In 2019 Andrew, accompanied by Max for the first few hundred kms, and Susan for the Tiscan section, walked the via francigena from Canterbury to Rome. That journey is blogged in this site. This blog is planned as an alternative to the endless instagram posts used previously to communicate with those interested in our travels - although there is a linked instagram account as well!
