Well the closest we get to Paris is the airport. 
But we did have a nice warm quiche at the airport, which was quite respectable.
Hanging out waiting for the last flight back home. We get back at 8:30pm EDT our time, or about 3:30am Greece time. Long day, for sure. It's been a great trip.
I figure we have a few more trips we can do before it gets too hard. A lot of these locations would be difficult if impaired. I was observing the accommodations and it's darn hard, at least in Greece. A few buildings are ok, but everywhere else one has to be pretty nimble to get about. The sidewalks on the narrow streets are shoulder width wide with stuff in the middle of them. Not saying it's a bad place, nor that other places are so much better, but it's something to be aware of.
The last hotel we were at was quite unusual. There was a locked iron gate you had to ring. They opened the gate. Then you had to haul your bags up three marble steps into the small lobby. There was a spiral marble staircase. You had to go up 4 steps to get to the elevator. The elevator was old fashioned looking with Mahogany paneling, and double doors. The first was an ornate iron gate. The second was a set of wooden doors with windows. The elevator was tiny, just barely big enough for 2 people and their bags. My rucksack got hung up in the doorway. Had to turn sideways to get in the elevator. When you selected your floor, classical music started playing. Thought it was quirky but elegant.
