Paris In A Day

Our first and only full day in Paris was spent walking, walking, walking and walking. We had a list of everything we wanted to see, which was barely manageable in that one day.

We marveled at Notre Dame


and its glorious rose windows,


sat in a room surrounded by walls entirely of stained glass in Sainte Chapelle,


had lunch on the steps of a government building overlooking the famous glass pyramids of the Louvre,


came out of the subway to be greeted by a huge and magnificent Arc de Triumph


and exclaimed "I can't believe we're here!" at the sight of the Eiffel Tower.

We will be posting more pictures and going into more detail about all the places we visited in Paris over the next few days.
