Last Stop
31 июля 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
The last top on the tour was to see a "public" high school in the area. This school was public, but it had requirements in order to get into it. One of the requirements is that students must scoreЧитать далее

Beautiful City
31 июля 2025 г., Франция ⋅ 🌩️ 75 °F
This city is in the same style as Strasbourg, except it has very narrow canals.
ПутешественникThey're pretty small canoes. You can see one in one of the pictures. It kind of blends in a little.
Goodbye Strasbourg!

It's been a great trip to Strasbourg. Now off to Paris for my last stop!
Paris!

Hôtel Camille

All checked in. Because i used points and a free night, there are 2 reservations: one for tonight and one for Friday and Saturday. Ideally, I'd like to keep the same room. They said I could keep theЧитать далее
Heading Out

Now that I've had breakfast, it's time to see some sights!
Notre Dame

The Seine

My FAVORITE monument, the St Michael's Fountain, is under renovation. :-(
I Love You
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
This is the Wall of I Love You's. I've heard of it, but I dont think I've ever been here. They have "I love you" in SO many languages!
ПутешественникThey took down the railings that had them because it was destroying the guardrail's stability (or at least thats what they said). There are lots of places that do it now (both in and outside of Paris/France)
Montmartre
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
Off to Montmartre and the Sacré Cœur Basilica! I've been here a ton, but it's just so amazing to see, I have to go back. I took the funicular instead of walking up Paris's "mountain" this time....lol
No Cash Allowed
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
I stopped at a Crêpe place for lunch in Montmartre. Good thing I have cash on me because this place is a card only restaurant. Really good food! I got a savory crêpe and a dessert one :-)
What do you mean there's no cash allowed? If it's a cash only place, I'm confused! [Sharon]
Eiffel Tower
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
I can finally see the Eiffel Tower! I've missed it!
ПутешественникYou can go up to the 4th floor (they call it the 3rd because our 1st floor is their ground floor, making our 2nd floor their 1st, ect). I didn't gi up this time though.
The Flame
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
This is an exact replica of the Statue of Liberty's Flame.

Best Spot

This is my new favorite spot to take pictures with the Eiffel Tower! It's a food bridge called Passerelle Debilly.
Bateaux Mouches
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
This is the main company that does river boat trips up and down the Seine. It never gets old seeing this beautiful city!
Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
1 августа 2025 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
I went to the Père-Lachaise Cemetery for a couple of reasons. One, because everybody always asks if I went and saw Jim Morrison's grave. Two, a lot of other reqlly famous people are buried there. ButЧитать далее
