We woke up very early at 4.30 AM to travel from Bouquelon to Paris's CDG airport, about 3 hours drrive away to meet and pick up our son Faisal and his wife Junn arriving from Kuala Lumpur. We checked in at a budget Hotel Formule 1 (www.hotelformule1.com) at Rossy de France near the airport (no I am not paid any commission for this promotion). In the afternoon, we took a train to the center of Paris. We enjoyed a boat ride on river Seine, toured the Notre Dame Cathedral, walked around and dined at Latin Quarters.

Colmar is a small touristic town with traditional buildings. It is located on the eastern part of France near the border with Germany. There is a resort in Malaysia by the name of Colmar di Tropical located at the Bukit Tinggi about 30 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur. The buildings at this resort are a copy of the Colmar buildings in France.
At Colmar France, among other sites, we visited the dormitory where our daughter used to stay and visited her college. We found some Malaysian students at the dorm and took pictures with them. After visiting Colmar, we travelled to Strassbourgh where we stayed with Mr. Richard and Mrs Erika CABASSUT,and their daughter Michelle (24yrs) in university, son Frederick (20 yrs).
