Nov 23 Starting our Viking River cruise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Champ de Mars. Our room had 2 windows looking out to a quiet street, had a small table and 2 chairs (to eat our treats from the bakery), and had a small but functional bathroom.  Best of all, it's mere steps from my new favorite patisserie.  Perhaps we should stay there when we come back in June.

Although our cruise is named Paris to Normandy, it starts outside of Paris, and getting to the ship was a hassle, but we managed by metro then taxi to the ship.  Tried Uber but no cars were available.

Stepping into the ship was like stepping into Wonderland where every wish is granted.  Since we booked the cruise late, the only cabin available was a 2 room suite.  It was larger than our room at Champ de Mars, with a sitting room, balcony (useless in winter), bedroom and spacious bathroom with a heated floor, even in the shower. It also has 2 large screen tvs, a bottle of champagne and a refrigerator.  Here are some photos of our room:
