Music Ministry - First Baptist Church, Pensacola - 1743 - Tour 2008 - Paris (3 Days)

We arrived in Paris in late afternoon after a day on the road from Bayeux. After getting checked in our hotels, we headed to the Eiffel Tower and a River Cruise. A great way to be introduced to Gay Parie (and I say that in the traditional way)!

Next morning our troops boarded the coaches this morning all decked out in full uniform (tuxes & long dresses). First on our full day's schedule was doing a concert in the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. Before doing that concert, we had a special time of devotion down in the crypt, trying to grasp the significance of where we were about to sing. Surrender went first, then the choir. Without a doubt, we had the largest audience than ever before for this concert. There must have been around 500 folks who set captivated through our concert.

When we finished, they thanked us with a resounding ovation. I was delighted to meet some folks with Pensacola ties following the program. Many others were free with their kind comments concerning your young folk and their performance.

Following the concert, we changed quickly, had a devotion and photo session on the back garden of Notre Dame, then spread out for lunch. Following lunch, we re-boarded our coaches for the transport to Sacre Cour, the beautiful white church atop Montmartre. Next, we journeyed to the Eiffel Tower, where we all "went to the top!"

 By this time, our coach drivers had used up all their allotted "driving hours," so we took the Metro (subway) back to the hotel. It was a wonderful day in Paris!!

Our second day began with a City of Paris Tour, led by our two step-on guides. It included all of the familiar landmarks of the city, plus a few walk around and photo opportunities. After this Tour, we enjoyed the afternoon at the renown Louvre Museum.

The third Paris day saw us coaching to Versailles, the famed "get-away" built by King Louis 13, later to be expanded and become the location of the French royalty with King Louis 14. It's unbelievably immaculate!!! In more recent days, it is associated as the location that world leaders signed the Treaty of Versailles following WWI. After enjoying lunch in the town of Versailles, we coached to the Bercy Train Station in Paris.
