Paris!

My three days in Paris were so much fun! There's so much to do there and as soon as I left I wanted to go back. It was also so much fun to spend the weekend with Rocio and Ana...looking forward to when I can visit them in Spain :) 


Notre Dame at night. So pretty inside! 
Sacre Coeur Basilica. You can't take pictures inside
 but here's a picture of the beautiful altar.

Arc de Triomphe

Moulin Rouge! We had to go see the iconic red windmill,
especially since we love the movie

Versailles was absolutely stunning. It was so gorgeous inside and definitely lives up to the hype.

The gardens of the castle


We went to the Eiffel Tower twice so that we could see it lit up at night and climb it in the day. It was really pretty lit up at night and the view from the Eiffel Tower was awesome, even if it was a lot of steps to go up!





We went to the Army Museum which was really big and had so much information. The chapel at the museum is where Napoleon's tomb is so that was cool to see.

A trip to Paris would not be complete without a visit to the Louvre. It's enormous and I'm pretty sure you could spend an entire year in there and still not see everything... We just went to the things we really wanted to see which of course included the Mona Lisa. It was smaller than I thought it would be and really crowded in the room. But it was still so neat to see it in person!

The last stop of my trip was to the Pantheon. It was really pretty inside and is where many well-known Frenchman are buried including Victor Huge, Marie and Pierre Curie, Rousseau, and Voltaire.
