ARIS Paris is a city of history and monuments, combined wifi. all the modern light and gaiety one could ever hope t find. By day we toured the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees, and the Arch of Triumph. Stops for some refreshment in the many sidewalk cafes always slowed but brightened our sightseeing. We rode up to the top of tht its xx A Qs Eiffel tower from which we could see almost the whole ol' Paris. We walked along the banks of the Seine poking into musty hook stalls and more cafes, and even ventured into the Louvre, the most famous art museum in the world. By night we visited the Latin Quarter. the Moulin Rouge with its Can-can, the Folies Bergere, and finally when all else was closed, the clip joints in Place Pigalle. The one thought uppermost in the exhausted minds of the tourists as our train pulled away from the station was that there is far too much to see in Paris during the short period of four days and nights. The Place de la Concorde, where during the French Revolution, the guillotine stood. ln the background stands the Eiffel Tower, a monu- ment crealtecl because ofthe tact that a French- man had a mathematical formula he wanted to test.

YERES The southern part of France is most famous for its Riviera, but our first glimpse of France was the little town of Hyeres, that was located about 100 miles west of the Riviera. Since it was a fishing village, this small harbor was always occupied by a large number of fishing craft. During our stay we found an orphanage. and had our first childrenis party. The enthusiasm of the children made t-his a port long to be remembered by all.
