Here are a few pictures from Paris. We mainly just walked around and enjoyed the "everyday life" of the city.
Arc de Triomphe
Louvre
Notre Dame - It is truly amazing this cathedral was built in the 1100s. Absolutely amazing!
Eiffel Tower
Sacre Coeur
We went on a Catacombs tour for the first time. In the 1800s, there was outbreak of disease around a cemetery in central Paris. They decided to remove the bodies from the cemetery and moved them to a quarry site, which is now in the middle of the city too. Eventually, they moved 6 million bodies. We walked for about half a mile with bones stacked on each side! It was crazy and unreal and peoples homes were just up above!
Our favorite part of the trip was a dinner cruise on the Seine River. Our friends, Marion and Fredric, took us on a dinner cruise on our honeymoon. Sebastien booked a dinner cruise for us on this 10 year anniversary trip (which was supposed to be a surprise, but I ruined that:). It was amazing! We were sitting at the front of the boat, so we could we all the sites along the Seine. When had a four course meal with Champagne and wine. There was a pianist and violinist playing all evening. Truly, it was a magical night, and we would highly recommend it. We used the Bateaux Mouches company.
It is duck confit and foie gras on our plates - delicious!
