Paris: City of Love


Sarah and I LOVED Paris. Beautiful open spaces, exquisite buildings, a lovely river. Here are a few things we did there:

Spent 4 hours browsing the Louvre- very impressive, even after seeing plenty of other museums.


Had dinner beside the Eiffel tower and climbed it to see the views.



Toured Versaille’s beautiful gardens- the former palace of Marie Antoinette and King Louie XVI (not that she really lived there with him).

Here is a video of a musical fountain at Versailles.

Discovered the secret to slim French women- skinny stick men at the lights!

Took a night bike tour which involved a ferry ride down the river and free wine! Great night.


Got ripped off at a cafe- 7 euro for a glass of Coke! (Around $12)



Toured Montametre- definitely a highlight of Paris, this hilly area is full of – bars and cafes. We saw the Moulin Rouge and the set of Amelie here too.
