Brussels to Paris - Monday September 10, 2011
Today they traveled through the Ardennes forest and French countryside to the "City of Light", PARIS   When they arrived in Paris, they went to the Eiffel Tower and then went on a boat curse down the Seine River Cruse. In the evening they went to dinner and saw a cabaret show in the city.
 


The Ardennes Area of France
 In both World War I and World War II, Germany successfully gambled on making a rapid passage through the Ardennes to attack a relatively lightly defended part of France. The Ardennes was the site of three major battles during the world wars – the Battle of the Ardennes in World War I, and the Battle of France and Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Many of the towns of the region were badly damaged during the two world wars.
