Last days in Pari!

So I have seen Paris in fast forward. I spent 4 very fast days seeing as much as I can. I went up the Eiffel Tower, did a wonderful walking tour of the city, strolled through he Gardens of Versailles, and took a boat ride around the Seine. I go to sit in cafe's and watch Parisians as I drank my espresso, wine, and ate cheese... oh so much cheese.

I also got to go to the Louvre, when people tell you how big it is, they aren't exaggerating. It is huge, and amazing. Truthfully though I was more impressed by the building more then the art. Here is a view from inside the Louvre to the court yard.


I also enjoyed a the final leg of our walking tour which was down the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe. The street is so alive and full of people, and energy. The history of Paris is apparent in all you see. I never appreciate history so much as when I am emerged in it.


As a whole I found the people very nice (contrary to popular belief), the architecture beautiful, but the weather a bit shit. It rained or was cloudy the entire time. All that aside walking through the streets of Paris makes you feel like you are in a movie. They say it's a romantic city, but I didn't see that either.

Here's a list of my favourite things in Paris.
