Paris!

Paris was amazing! I did so much that I can't even write it all... it would take so long. So I will give you the basic run down and let you just look at pictures.


Day 1:
We left Thursday night to head to London where we would then take a 8am Eurostar train to Paris. Before heading to the station we went to Platform 9 3/4!!! It was a lot of fun! I finally used my timer on the camera! HOURS later... We get into Paris around 12pm. We have a bus tour and get some money! After getting settled in our rooms, my friends and I decided to go to the Louvre. It was amazing in there, as you can see.





Day 2:
We got up late this day... we were really tired from the night before! Anyways we walked around Paris. Went into a little market on the street where we got some fresh fruit! It was soooo good! Loved it. Then we walked around the river to the Notre Dame. But had to leave to get over to a tour (which we missed) around Moulin Rouge. We ended up just walking around in that area anyways on our own, which was a LOT of fun. We got some cotton and candy too... which you can see was HUGE! We all shared, it was way too much even for the three of us. Lol. Later that night we went to the Eiffel Tour. Learned that every hour it does this sparkling light thing. It was great! After taking MILLIONS of pictures we went up the Eiffel Tour--> yup, to the EVERY top of it! It was amazing to see the city of Paris at night from way up there. Although the very top, with no windows just the metal fence, was VERY cold...






Day 3:
We got up early to head over to Versailles! It was amazing. We didn't go in but it was still lovely to see, even though it was raining... After that we saw gift shops and HAD to stop and look at them. Had some cute stuff. But we bought some of our stuff the night before. So we got back on the train to head to the Opera house. We got over there, I got my picture taken infornt of the Royal Enterance. We couldn't go in because a show was going on at the time. However, this Opera house is what inspired The Phantom of the Opera! Amazing, right? I wish we could have gone in... However, that gave us time to get back over to the Notre Dame. We got to go inside too! It was amazing inside, as you can see below! After being amazed, and me buying this pretty blue cross from the church, we looked at a few more gift shops. Then rushed back to the the hotel to meet our group. Once we got our stuff from the hotel, we headed to the Eurostar to go back to London and then back to Bath.


I had a great time! It was so much fun! Katie and Lindsey were great to hang out with too! We all had a great time and are very glad that we went :-)
Love,
Sarah

  1. Hi Sarah!

    Looks like you and your friends had quite an adventure in Paris. It's a shame you didn't get to go inside the Opera House! Did you know that they keep bees on the roof? How cool is that? I especially like your picture here of the candles. (I know, an odd one to choose out of all of them, but the composition is very nice!) I'm also curious if you and your friends ate all that cotton candy even though it was too much for all of you!! Tell the truth! :-)

    Thanks for posting!
