Once back in Paris (in order to fly out after isolation), we lucked out...finally something went our way. Our Marriott was at the airport, but right next to the airport was Roissy-en-France. A commune in the NE subburd of Paris with a population of 2,883. Part of the Charles De Gaulle Airport (formerly known as Roissy Airport), is on property that was part of the commune. This little historic village was within walking distance to the Airport Marriott.
Through out the village, you see historic pictures next to buildings showing you what it looked like back then. This is The Church Eglise Saint - Eloi. Then and now.
At least we were able to get outside and go for a walk staying well away from people and masked. (Though I took my mask off for the picture, you can see me holding it). Cobblestone walk ways, cute little houses with painted shutters, and a fair number of cafe's dotted this little commune.
As we made our way back to our hotel it was getting dusk out and all the lights in the village were coming on.
If you're on your way to or from other sights in France, do yourself a favor and stay a night at the Airport Marriott so you can spend an evening in this historic quaint little village. Unlike us though, stop and eat in one of the cafe's, they all looked so inviting, and presumable you won't be isolating due to Covid.
PLEASE leave me a comment when you come visit, so I know you were here. Your visits and comments are very special to me.

I'm glad you have recovered. Sorry about the trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteHow awful you were in France and Covid hit. We had a trip planned but were able to cancel it after Covid hit.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend, Sandy. ♥
Sorry to hear you also had Covid and had to cancel your trip, thankfully you were able to before you got there.
Deletelast week I didn't realize you made it all the way to France before diagnosis.... how frustrating. Guess you had not the worst case luckily and could at least watch French tv and eat french foods. The village is quaint, we love to just walk around looking at architecture. You look so pretty in your photo! LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteYeah it was a bummer to be already there. Maybe we'll make it back there sometimes. Thank you what a sweet comment.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you had covid when away on vacation. You did the right thing by isolating and seemed to make the best of it. Room ser vice looked amazing! I hope someday you can re-schedule to see what you missed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat. We tried not to be too grumpy about the situation and maybe we'll have the opportunity to return, fingers crossed.
DeleteGlad you are on the mend. I hope you'll get back there soon.
ReplyDeleteWe hope to get back there sometime. Fingers crossed. Thanks feeling better.
DeleteI'm so sorry you got Covid while in France. That's terrible timing!
ReplyDeleteThe little village looks like such a charming place to visit!
Really lousy timing for sure. The little village truly was charming and such a surprise for us, as we didn't know it was there.
DeleteWell, at least you got to see something other than the inside of a hotel room. And what a nice little surprise.
ReplyDeleteWhat you did see was quite lovely, esp. lit up at dusk. And the food? Tres bon!
ReplyDeleteglad you recovered quickly....
