France

Stan Loomis in France

Stan Loomis and his wife took in an outdoor art exhibition while vacationing in France.

Stan Loomis and his wife took a trip to France not long ago.

While abroad, they toured Paris and Marseille-Provence and enjoyed the sights, art galleries, and cuisine at each locale.

Paris

Paris is one of the most enchanting cities in France; its grandeur attracting visitors from around the world. Items that made the Loomis’ itinerary included:

  • Eiffel Tower: This major landmark was a must, acting as the defining monument of the city.

  • Musee du Louvre: More than 35,000 works of art are on display at this monumental building. The collection ranges from Islamic, Greek, Etruscan, Assyrian, and Coptic Art.

  • Palais Garnier: The couple enjoyed a night out at the city’s original opera house.

  • Musee Rodin: Here, Stan Loomis and his wife appreciated the art collection of Auguste Rodin.

Marseille-Provence

In southeastern France, Marseille-Provence has a rich history that makes it a popular destination for tourists. Shops, music, multicultural urbanites, and famous world cuisines have made this bustling port city the second largest in France. Some of Stan Loomis’ favorite things to do in Marseille include:

 

  • Perched Villages of the Luberon Day Trip: This walking tour guides a small group of explorers to Oppede le Vieux, a village carved into rock; Menerbes, an old fortress that has experienced many wars; and Roussillon, a village that sits on breathtaking red cliffs.

  • Jardin du Pharo: Located at the edge of the peninsula, this park provided a perfect spot for the Loomises  to picnic and watch the sunset.

  • Espace Julien: Here, people can listen to a variety of live music, including hip-hop, reggae, rock, alternative, and more.

  • Le Café des Epices: This fan favorite offers the best French food around, including various sea foods and the catch of the day.

 

Stan Loomis and his wife enjoyed their trip to France so much that they are considering returning in the near future to tour the rest of Europe as well.
