Bon Jour from Paris!


Finally in Paris, I've been having so much fun exploring this city. First thing we did when I landed was go to La Duree, famous for its macaroons and cakes. Its right on the Champs Elysees and inside decorated in golds and green. We decided to call it a night early and the next morning we started off at the Musee de l'Orangerie, to see Monet's water lilies. We then walked through the Tuileries Gardens to the Louvre, found a cafe and ordered a few croque monsieurs and espressos. After some caffeine for the jet lag we were off to my favorite spot, Montmartre, north of Paris, known for the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur (Basilica of the sacred hearts) a beautiful white church and for being an artist's village. Its been a great first couple days and I can't wait to see more of the famous sights and try more of the french food, although I could get used to a croque monsieur everyday. Bonsoir
