Day 2 of exploring Paris

After the Louvre, Lexi and I met up with Lucas and walked down the Tuileries Gardens - the Louvre’s palacial gardens - to the Place de la Concorde, an interesting historical site that has an Egyptian obelisk (that was literally taken from Egypt by Napoleon) and was also the location where many historical figures like Marie Antoinette were guillotined. We walked from there into a neighbourhood called Madeleine which had a lot of designer stores but also had a lot of construction going on so it was tough to navigate or hang out in. Lucas went back to his hostel from there and Lexi and I rented bikes to go see the Café de Flore - which according to Lexi is a famous cafe here - and then walked to the Luxembourg gardens, which were absolutely beautiful to explore.Meer informatie
