Paris
On our way back from India, Jan and I decided to stop in Paris for two cold, but fun-packed days in what has now become one of my favorite cities in the world! I’ve been to Paris before, but maybe I was young and didn’t appreciate it as much, but I could not get enough of it while we were there. I’ve been thinking about it a lot since we’ve come back and can’t wait to visit again.
This is how Jan and I started every day: amazing coffee and delicious croissants in a quaint cafe!
The first day, we had a full day. Walked from our hotel so we could see more of the city, and visited Notre Dame, with its beautiful exterior and interior shots. I was having to refrain myself from taking too many pictures!
Then we headed to Sainte-Chapelle to see the gorgeous floor to ceiling stained glass windows, and they were worth the price and the wait in line to see them in person.
Then we had a bit of lunch and wandered around the George Pompidue Museum for a few hours, taking in some art, and rode the escalators to the top to see this view of the city.
We ended our day at the Eiffel Tower. It was gorgeous at night!

The next day, we headed to the Louvre, only to discover they are closed on Tuesday. We still took a few photos outside of it.
Decided to stop for some espresso and a crepe.
Next we headed to Montmartre, and climbed up the streets and the stairs to the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur and saw a group of children getting ready to release balloons. We weren’t sure what it was all about, but it was fun to watch.
It was adorable hearing all the children say “Au revoir!” to the balloons as they floated off into the sky.
The rest of the day, we just wandered around the streets of Paris and enjoyed it all.
It was sad to go after only two days, but I will definitely be back. If you’d like to see even more pictures of Paris, click HERE and enjoy!
