Paris

After enjoying Epernay we headed to Paris, we were only there for 2 1/2 days but we managed to hit all of the major sites. On day one, we went to the Palace of Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, and the Love Lock Bridge. People put padlocks on this bridge as a symbol of their everlasting love for one another and there were literally thousands of locks all over this bridge! We wrote all three of our names on our lock, locked it to the bridge, and then Madison tossed the key over into the river Seine. On the second day we started off at the Louvre museum, one of the largest museums in the world. We checked out the Mona Lisa and then headed to the Napoleon State rooms.  We absolutely loved seeing these rooms, they were beautiful! After the Louvre, we got on the "hop-on-hop-off tour bus" and made our way around Paris. We saw almost all of the major sites. We then toured Notre Dame and took a boat cruise down the river Seine. The cruise was beautiful, you can see most all of the sites right on the river. On our last day, we walked to the Sacre Coeur which was close to our hotel. It was at the top of a huge hill which wasn't much fun climbing up, but the view at the top was totally worth it! We had a great time overall; the weather was perfect, the people were friendly, and the crepes were amazing!
