My first Paris!

Let me be clear...three days are not enough! But we tried to get it accomplished...be ready to walk a lot!

Here what we did the first day....AMAZING!

• Opera Garnier (Opera House)
• Notre Dame & lunch in the Latin Quarter
• Jardin du Luxembourg: beautiful gardens that house the Luxembourg Palace and second largest public park in Paris
• Champs Elysees: one of the most famous avenues in the world known for its upscale specialty shops, cafes and cinemas.
• Arc de Triomphe: one of most famous monuments in Paris
• Trocadero: set on top of a hill with magnificent views of the city and the Eiffel Tower. Perfect spot for photographs.
• Sunset cruise on the river Seine (last departure of the evening): taking the sunset cruise allowed us to see the real City of Lights in all its glory and the glittering Eiffel Tower at 11 pm (it only glitters after dark on the hour for 5 minutes)

Aftrer a stunning first day we have been able to add a second surprisig day where we mainly did

1) Rive Gauche

2) Palace de Versailles.

 

Make sure you allocate a bit of time as it takes time to visit. it is like going back to the French Revolution

If you don't like visiting museums then you can skip it but...how can you go to Paris without admiring the Monna Lisa?

We spent the entire day visiting the Louvre Museum..long line but all deserved!

 

We were running out of time but I wanted to see the Pompidou Palace!!Make sure you stop by....what a building!
