City of Light
Tonight is our last night in the amazing city of light. It seems only fitting to post another photo of the iconic Eiffel Tower. We have had an amazing time here, seen so many amazing places, and met so many great people that it's very hard to leave.
lottad jossou Paris
Paris has some great little shops and lots of artists if you know where to find them or just stumble upon them while exploring the little neighborhood streets. While wandering not far from our apartment we came across this lovely little jewelry shop called Lottadjossou Paris where the designer Clément Djossou creates his designs.
Estate of Versailles
Today we visited one of the most amazing disappointing places that we've been to. We woke up early to try to get to the Estate of Versailles before the long lines. We actually specifically selected Thursday as our day to visit because it was supposed to be one of the lower-traffic days to visit the estate.
Catacombs of Paris
Today we got up early to visit the Catacombs of Paris. Believe it or not, this is a very popular attraction and you must arrive early if you want to get in. The line to get in wraps around an entire large Paris city block and beyond and they only allow 200 people at a time in the tunnels.
Curious Bike Man
Today we did some more walking in one of the many interesting neighborhoods of Paris. As we were exiting the rue des Rosiers after partaking in one of the districts famous falafels, we ran smack dap into the "curious bike man" of Le Marais.
Crossing the Pont Notre-Dame
Today we had crazy weather again in Paris. Wind, sun, and rain intermittently throughout the day. Since we'd heard about the crazy long lines at some of the more popular Paris sites we thought we'd go check out how bad they really were before we opted to actually attempt to visit.
The Boulevard of Forgotten Photography Equipment
Today we spent the day exploring the area around our apartment. We ended up walking down the Boulevard Beaumarchais and found that instead of being in Paris, we had somehow been transported to "the Boulevard of Forgotten Photography equipment" the place where all cameras go to be re-invigorated.
Paris From The Montparnasse Tower
Today we explored the Paris metro system and took ourselves to the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, then walked to the Tour Montparnasse to get a view of the city. You get an amazing 360-degree view of Paris from the top of the building.
