The second day we had great intentions of getting up early and taking a train to the Palace of Versailles. However the time zone difference got to the best of us and we did not wake up until 10am. Which is totally not like us, so that plan went out the window. Here was our plan for the rest of the day.
Museum of Rodin
Napoleon's tomb: I don't remember going to Napoleaon's tomb and since I am reading War and Peace right now, it was kind of cool. Shawn loved the weapon museum which is part of Napoleon's tomb.
Next we stopped for a yummy lunch. I seriously love the cafes over in Paris. They are so unique. Then we continued to the Eiffel Tower.
30!!!
I thought this was funny! Obviously neither one of us was into the 'kiss.' I guess we should just stick to smiling.
Next we headed over to Basilique de Sacre-Coeur. This cathedral is spectacular on the outside. You climb up lost of stairs and the view from the top is amazing!
I really enjoyed walking a long the river and enjoying the buildings.
As we were walking we came across this alley with lots of fun restaurants. We stopped and had fondue. The meat that we cooked at our table was delicious!
Gelato for desert!
Ended the night at Arc de Triomphe and a walk along Champs-Elysees. Perfect little get-away!
We opted on the other museums, I know you think we are crazy. We just did not have time to see everything and the other museums take a good couple of hours and we wanted to be outside a little more.
Thanks Shawn!
