First stop in Paris, Notre Dame. There was no hunchback roaming around the upper rooms. (bummer)
Next to the place everyone was anticipating, the Eiffel Tower!!! Gorgeous!
I spent the afternoon enjoying the palace I Versailles. Breathe taking. Amazing to think people lived in such extravagance centuries ago. I saw Maria Antoinette's and Louis XIV bedrooms and the ballroom of mirrors. The gardens are a whole different ball game. Overall the property lies amongst 2000 acres! Very hard to upkeep especially if trying to do it with the limited machinery and tools they had those days.
In the evening we went to a restaurant just down the street from the pantheon. I enjoyed the French gastronomy, frogs legs and snails. Personally I think frog legs taste more like fish than chicken. Moving on, we headed out to Montmartre, detouring passed the Moulin Rouge to see Paris from a higher view point in illumination. Very pretty!
