Paris

I need to go back to Paris, stat. I loved everything about it!

Tips

Purchase a tour for the Eiffel tower online in advance. The lines to go up were hours long. My sister and I were pleased to find we could arrive at the Eiffel tower at our scheduled time, learn a little history, and go straight up. It really didn’t cost much more at all. Worth it!

Also, purchase a museum pass. It’s a great money saver if you plan to see the many museums.

My favorite things in Paris:

Luxembourg Gardens

Great for people watching and relaxing.

Fruit Tarts & Croissants! 

Fruit tarts. Chocolate croissants. Baguettes. Nothing in the U.S. compares to what Paris has perfected.

Versailles

Versailles. A must see day trip! It’s an easy train ride outside the city.

Eiffel Tour at Night

Can it get any better?

Les Invalides

I loved the building & the gardens just outside of it.

Notre Dame Cathedral
