Our first few stops consisted of the Louvre and Eiffle Tower. We didn't have to pay to enter the Louvre because it was Bastille Day. We didn't have to wait in line either because a friend of Jeff's told him about a side entrance (completely allowed - not really known to most who aren't local). The weather was absolutely gorgeous! In the mid-70's.
The Eiffel Tower was so much fun to visit (but it is
brown- I thought it was black - oh well). Since it
was Bastille Day there was a huge firework show
at 11 pm (which is when it gets dark during the
summer). There were THOUSANDS of people. It
was truly a once in a lifetime experience!
The next day we continued to explore the city and went to Notre Dame! After breakfast, itwas time to
explore Notre
Dame! We toured
the inside and
then climbed up
one of the towers.
There were 400
steps one way!
Day Three was the most relaxing. We went to Versailles
Palace. The grounds were breathtaking! We spent the day walking the grounds, renting a boat, and eating delicious food! Again, perfect weather! We lucked out!
