We had a fabulous time in Paris! We were there for 8 days so we were able to see a lot!! I can sum up the trip like this: I ate at least one French baguette and one Nutella crepe a day, we climbed up every tower in the city (Notre Dam, Arc De Triumph, Pantheon, Eiffel Tower, Sac Le Carre), and saw a ton of art (Palace of Versailles, Pompidou, Orsay Museum, Orangerie Museum, Rodin Museum, Louve).
One of my favorite sights was walking through the catacombs, which are underground passageways that go all throughout the city. As you walk through, you enter a section of the catacombs were bones were kept because France ran out of places to bury people during the Black Plague. I have some great photos of us standing next to human skulls and femurs =)
Another sight I really enjoyed was going up the Eiffel Tower one night (something I’ve always wanted to do). We stayed up there long enough to see the lights on the tower flicker at midnight. It was amazing, the trip was amazing!
