So it’s official, we’re going to visit: Paris and Versailles in France and Milan, Venice, Rome, Portofino, Almafi and Capri in Italy. What should we see?

This post is all about getting a sneak peek from online video & photo galleries.

When I first went to Paris, we got to the Louve too late… SO NO I didn’t see the Mona Lisa… When I visited Venice the Lucian Freud exhibition at the Museo Correr was closed the day we wanted to go (and my memory card was busted hince the 5 photos one of which is a picture of the Lucian Freud exhibition poster). Florence and Rome were far more kind to me. WHEW. I must not be over that, well. I’m glad we are going so that I can correct that.

So in Paris we will see Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Shop on the beautiful Champs-Élysées and our hotel is near the Arch de Triumph. I found a delightful video that will give you a quick overview, click to see.

In Versailles, we will see this.

Then it’s off to Italy!

In Milan, we will only spend time at The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and the Duomo. These are the two sites in Milan pretty much nothing else but fashion houses etc which are nice but… Milan is our entry point into Italy.

From Milan we head to Venice.

From Venice we head to Rome. This is where we will spend the bulk of our trip. There is a lot to see here. The Colusseum, The Pantheon, The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountian, The Fourm, Piazza del Popolo, The Vatican Museum, St Peters. On and On. Rome is awesome.

After we do Rome, we will head south into Naples but specifically Portofino, Almafi and The Island of Capri.

Versailles in France and these smaller cities are the places I haven’t been. I’m so ready to go. Hey post the places you are most excited about on the blog. If you want we can eliminate a place and spend more time in another.

Ciao Ciao!
