    Versailles

    May 27, 2017 in France ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We met up with the Scribners again, this time to take on Paris. Our weekend started with touring the palace and gardens of Versailles. Hot was an understatement and we logged almost 10 miles of walking by the end of the day.Read more

  • Cathedrale Notre-Dame

    May 27, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    After leaving Versailles, we headed over to Notre-Dame. It is the oldest thing I have ever seen or been in, as construction started in 1163. We were in awe, wondering and imagining how someone could build this even today with the technology we have, let alone back then. We also saw a bride having her wedding portraits done outside of the cathedrale.Read more

  • Louvre

    May 28, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    We started our day with a delicious brunch, which we were then going to follow with climbing the bell towers at Notre-Dame, but the line was so long the wait would have taken up most of our day. So from there we headed over to the Louvre, which was the palace for the royal family before Versailles was built. We didn't go in and do the museum, but we did enjoy walking around outside and taking photos.Read more

  • The Gardens

    May 28, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Upon leaving the Louvre we walked through the gardens headed to Av. des Champs-Elysees. The gardens are a wonderful place to walk and sit and relax. We saw numerous statues and even 2 random goats. At the end of the gardens is the place where Louis the 14th and Marie Antoinette were both publicly executed.Read more
