This past
weekend I was in Paris! It had been about 6 years since the last time I went. Paris is just as beautiful as I remember, if
not more. The weather on Saturday was
absolutely perfect to spend a whole day sightseeing. Logan and I began the day
by going to the Notre Dame and having breakfast across the street. We had omelets and coffee which was delicious. The food in Paris is way better than in England. After Notre Dame we took the Metro to the Arc
de Triomphe and walked down the Champs Elysees. We walked past some museums and
crossed a bridge to head over towards the Eifel Tower. After snapping a few hundred shots of the
Eifel Tower we bought a ticket for a hop on-hop off boat cruise and took that
over to the Louvre and headed up to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. Montmartre is very much the same feeling as
the West Village in NYC. In Montmartre
there are lots of trendy people and boutiques and an array of cafes and
restaurants. I also must mention the
fantastic view of the city from the top.
We had a 3 course meal at a restaurant in the area. I had onion soup, creamy mushroom pasta and crème
brulee. We headed back towards the
Louvre, walked through the gardens and took pictures near the fountain. At midnight we were on the Eifel Tower which
is the most beautiful sight in the city, especially when it starts to sparkle
at the top of every hour.
Sunday’s weather wasn’t as nice but
we began the day at the Louvre. I had
plans to go to Galaries Lafayette but it is not open on Sunday. So instead we
went to several souvenir shops and checked out the shops on the Champs
Elysees. Afterwards we hopped over to
Bastille and stopped into a café for cheese and champagne. At night we met up with Karen and Jay at the piers
in front of the Eifel Tower to go on a night cruise down the Seine.
Paris is the most spectacular city I
have ever been to and it was very sad to leave Monday morning. I am already planning to go back in the near
future because I didn’t get a chance to see Versailles again.
