“A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life.”

-Thomas Jefferson

Wow, this past weekend went by SO FAST! A friend from Church, Corina, and I went to Paris for the weekend and we jam packed it full. I need to go back to just take it all in what I saw. 

We arrived Friday late afternoon after a busy day of traveling. Flights around Europe are cheap, but only if you use a certain airline. This airline is about an hour outside Warsaw so you have to take trains and buses to get to it. It is difficult, but sometimes worth it. This time it kind of sucked because in France it flew to another part, so we had to take another bus to Paris! Bleh! But, alas, we made it! 

When we got there we decided to walk down Champs-Elysees street and wow! Incredible. The y have these amazing trees that just line the streets and they are placed perfectly. There are shops and cafes down the entire thing and right in the middle is Arc de Triomphe. This reminded me of my amazing trip to Berlin with Bethie and we saw the Brandenburger Tor. 

Arc de Triomphe! 

Arc de Triomphe!

I had to get a chocolate croissant of course! 

We then ate at a yummy place called Leon’s where I had delicious mussles! Yum! Then we took the metro to Corina’s friends apartment, where we would be staying for the weekend. She lives on the 9th floor of her building and has an incredible view.

Yummy!  My mussels! 

The amazing view! :-)

Saturday was the big, full day, jam packed with stuff. We started the day off with seeing the Eiffel Tower-WOW! I have never been so amazed in my entire life. I literally was speechless. I have seen so much since I have been here and the Eiffel Tower is by far the most incredible structure I have seen. All in one day I saw it with cloudy skies, clear skies, saw the sunset, and it lit up at night. Amazing! 

Shout-out to my amazing little fighter Lauren! I am so glad I could do this for you. I love you! 

We got photos of all angles of the Tower! 

After I was done gawking at the Eiffel Tower (it is so fun to say that I literally saw, walked under, went up, and touched the Eiffel Tower in person) we got on our big bus tour, which took us to all the hot spots in Paris. First up was Champ-de-Mars, which was the garden area behind the Eiffel Tower (seriously so fun) and of course another gorgeous place to take pictures. The next place we got off was the Louvre. We did not go inside because we did not have time, and I was told it was shoulder to shoulder people so no thank you, so we hopped back on the bus and drove through the Louvre. We then passed the famous lock bridge and then got off at Notre Dame. The line looked so long here too so we did not go in (yes, now I know the line goes super fast, and I regret not staying in line, but we had things to do and see in such a short time) but there was a 20th bread festival that we went in and got an amazing baguette with cheese and ham- YUM! This was also the perfect place to souvenir shop. This was difficult because I only brought a backpack with me (yes, you read that right, I only brought one book bag with me). I still bought way too much stuff for everyone back home, your’re welcome people. We hopped back on our bus and drove on Champs-Elysees and saw the Arc de Triomphe again by bus-still amazing! We got off at the next stop, Grand Palais, so I could get a crepe at a fancy little shop. You have to have a crepe in France! Oh my it was delicious. Later we hopped back on the bus to go get our tickets for the Eiffel Tower.

The Louvre and the Pyramid! 

The lock bridge! 

Notre Dame Cathedral.

That was a delicious piece of bread! 

This is just too funny not to share...her hat! haha

My delicious crepe! :-)

Lucky for us, we had skip the line tickets for the Eiffel Tower. However, no one knew where we were supposed to go! It was a mess, so I put my big girl panties on, pretended I was Beth Johnes and I shoved in front of people and demanded someone to tell us what was going on and BOOM!! we got let in. HA! It was awesome. We had to wait for the elevator for 5 minutes, then we were riding up the Eiffel Tower! The view was pretty spectacular. You could see everything! It was pretty windy up there too and a lot of people! We decided to walk down the stairs to the first floor and then to the bottom floor, ouch, my calves still hurt! After this we went on a hour Seine River cruise. This was really cool to be on a boat in Paris and see all of the sights like the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Eiffel Tower. The only bad part was that is was SO crowded!! The only pictures I could get is this man taking selfies, literally, he kept taking them. On our walk towards the boat he stopped multiple times in front of us to take selfies, I am in 3 of them for sure, probably more, doing the Sarah face- haha! 

Going up! 

The beautiful view from the 2nd floor!

Look at me! Oops I mean the view ;-)

:-*

This was from the first floor- a see-through floor! 

Eiffel Tower from the Cruise! 

The selfie man! 

Beautiful Notre Dame.

We then tried to go see this mountain/hill place-but ended up going to a cemetery instead. So we went back near the Eiffel Tower, had dinner, and then found a nice spot to sit in front of the Eiffel Tower to watch the ending of the sunset, the Tower being lit, and then the light show-SPECTACULAR! Then we walked to the metro and got home late. It does not get fully dark in Paris until after 10 pm!! 

Beautiful! 

:-)

Sunday we had all our things packed and left, but first we went to Montmartre, which has the Sacre Coeur Basilica. Beautiful! The views of the Basilica from below are amazing and when you get to the top you can see the entire city just like the Eiffel Tower. Then we walked a little around the area and it was so cute and amazing. Sadly it was time to say goodbye to Paris and go home. :-(

Hello! Sacre Coeur Basilica

Saint Louis! 

The streets! 

Yum! My macaroon gelato! :-)

Synopsis of my trip:

Paris was great, but smelly. Delicious pastries and amazing sites. Creepy people and super crowded.

You’re welcome. I do think everyone needs to experience Paris and I hope to go back and have a bit more time to spend exploring! 

Here are some other fun photos from the Eiffel Tower :-)

Until next time!

Do zobaczenia!
