Paris

Salut!

Time of finish the last few blogs of my trip.  I spent 3 weeks traveling to 5 different cities!  My travels began in Paris, France!  I fell in love with the city.  I got to see so many amazing monuments.

Due to my overwhelming number of attractions I have decided to list everything I saw to save lots and lots of time lol.

Arrival Day, April 1: Basilique du Sacre-Coeur

Day 2, April 2: Spent 4 hours in the Louvre (Saw - Mona Lisa, Venus di Milo, Coronation of 

Empress Josephine, and lots of paintings and sculptures), Eiffel Tower (Climbed all the way to the top and got a great view of the city), Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (also known as Napoleon's Arch), Garden des Tuileries, Obelisque, Hotel des Invalides.

Day 3, April 3: Notre Dame (the inside was incredible), Hotel de Ville, Tour Saint-Jacques, Le Pantheon (in the crypt they had Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Voltaire, Rousseau, Louie Braille), the Catacombes, Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise (saw the tombs of Chopin, Rossini, Noir, Morrison, Oscar Wilde).

Day 4, April 4: Spent the whole day at Versailles.  Chateau de Versailles, Les jardins (the Gardens), Le grand Trianon, Le Domaine de Marie-Antoinette, Le petit Trianon, Le Hameau.  The place was incredible and despite the season was still breathtaking.  We got to see even more paintings and 

famous exhibits.  

Day 5, April 5: Arc de Triumphe, Palais de la decouverte, Petit Palais, La Defense, Grand Palais, Palais Royal.

We also went to the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre at night to see the lights.  At 11pm the Eiffel Tower started flashing lights.

April 6th we spent a short amount of time before getting on our plain to Madrid, Spain!

Paris was my favorite city when it came to attractions.  The Louvre was the most incredible museum I've ever been in.  I would've loved to spend hours roaming around the place.  I loved the history Paris had to offer.  I also loved the nutella filled crepes!  Yum!

It was also helpful that so many french people spoke English.  The rest of our travels were not a convenient.

Paris was also the largest city we visited.  We had to make use of the subway system while we explored during the day.  Everything was very spread out. 

I definitely left a part of my heart in Paris!  

Next up Spain!

Au revoir!
