Paris

Today we did a day trip to Paris with Marlu, Celine, Cedric and Caterina. This was really special as we did the same with them 8 years ago in 2015 🥰
2 hour train from Saarbrucken to Paris, fastest train in Europe got up to 365km 🚊
📍 First stop was the Sacré Coeur Basilica. Beautiful piece of roman architecture. We got a photo in the same spot as 2015, this was cool!
📍 Quick coffee/drink stop at a cafe to escape the heat
📍 Next we walked to the “Wall of Love” in Square Jehan Rictus park. This wall has the words I love you written in 250 languages. Really cool!
📍 Le Relais Gascon for lunch - this was a recommendation from a local we met at the cafe and it didn’t disappoint! They’re known for their range of salads which were delicious, Jacques opted for a beef bourguignon because “when in Paris”
📍 Moulin Rouge - quick stop here for a photo. On my bucket list to go to the show here in Paris one day!
📍 Notre Dame Cathedral - We got to see the reconstruction in action after its roof was damaged in a 2019 fire. The large spire and the rest of the roof were being rebuilt, the two bell towers remain original. The reconstruction should be complete by 2024!
📍 Eiffel Tower - we found a great spot for photos with nobody around. Got our tourist pics with Cedric and Caterina 🤪
📍 Drinks @ Cafe De Musees - Marlu’s favourite cafe in Paris right near the Eiffel Tower. We came here in 2015 so it was extra special going back! It has red velvet chairs and the whole cafe looks out to the bustling street
📍 Place des Vosges. This was a big square with greenery, water fountains and huge trees in the middle of the Jewish Quarter. Loved walking around the Jewish quarter, so many funky art galleries, amazing shops and a flea market. Wish we had more time could spend a whole day here! We enjoyed a pastry in the park 🥐
Train ride home consisted of playing cards with Cedric and Celine, lots of laughs were had 🤣Read more
