Our trip was a wonderful balance of seeing the "must see's" as well as wandering aimlessly and coming across truly Parisian moments. What fun!
The subway stations might have been my favorite part of the ciy
Our first night in town it rained like crazy. The next morning...
we had to dry our coats at a laundromat.
Our first tourist stop...Notre Dame
I've seen a lot of European churches in my day,
and this was really stood up to it's reputation.

Probably the coolest/creepiest sculpture I've ever seen.
We had the most expensive lunch I have ever eaten...totally worth it.
I had escargot for the first time. Delicious.
The house wine please. They have a huge oak barrel they keep on the front counter and just fill up these glass bottles for each table. If you don't drink it all, they don't charge you for it an pour it back!
What is a city without awesome graffiti?
Admiring the church at Montmartre
And we hit the Eiffel Tower at the perfect time of day.
Have you ever seen a more beautiful sunset?

ReplyDeleteOh my god! You're Paris pics are awesome. So glad you liked it, and happy to hear about the "balance" of must sees and non-touristy stuff. So jealous!
ReplyDeleteI have, indeed, been to Paris, and it was amazing. I was there in the summer, and my absolutely favorite part of the city was Montemarte and seeing the Sacre Coeur on the big hill.
ReplyDeletesomeday, someday i will get there.
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful photos and beautiful you! haha, i love that first picture the best though i think.
OOo lovely pics! I've been there once when I was in high school and it was beautiful and overwhelming. It was very hot that summer and I got an itchy infection and yet I managed to see some incredible things. We saw some of the Louvre,this little cafe called " Les Beaus Arts", the Defense section outside of Paris. I loved the countryside better than Paris actually but its an iconic city nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteOh Bethany Paris is a must if you are here :) I was there last August with my kids and they really enjoyed the subways, they still talk about the Notredame, sacre coeur, eiffel toren and the boattrip we made:)Next time I'll go there I want to show them some of the Louvre museum and centre Pompidou :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! We were staying right by that Les Gobelins station and used it everyday! Small world, or small Paris at least. Glad you had a good time, now you see where my obsession lies...
