Trip Recap - #1

Part 1 - Paris

We arrived in Paris on Friday Evening. We had the most amazing meal ever at a little restaurant near our hotel where no one spoke English.

This is the Eiffel Tower from the rooftop garden of the hotel


Our only full day in Paris we spent travelling about on our hop-on, hop-off bus tour. We got to see all the big sites.

We hopped off at the Eiffel Tower, walked about and went on a river tour on the Seine.

And then to the Louvre. Where we had lunch, spent hours exploring and could have stayed forever.... (Knowing that the Louvre would suck us in time-wise... I tried to put it off at least...)

When the Louvre closed they chased us out... it's actually a remarkable closing procedure! Then we visited the shops at the Carrousel du Louvre.

We walked along the Seine by night, then back onto our bus to see the sights by night, and then off at the Eiffel tower, to get back on the Metro and back to our hotel.

The next day we visited Saint Chapelle, Notre Dame and the Rodin museum

Then we headed for the airport and back to Germany...
