Dana and I spent Christmas week in Paris, France! Lovely.
 |
| Our charming, pink and purple hotel room! |
 |
| Views from our balcony... |
 |
| Notre Dame de Paris |
 |
| West facade |
 |
| The cathedral construction began in 1163 and was completed in 1345 |
 |
| Nativity scene |
 |
| A rainy, +2 degree celsius day |
 |
| Golden gate of the Ministry of Justice, Palais de Justice |
 |
| The Louvre Palace, dating back to 1190 |
 |
| Glass pyramids marking the new entrance to the Louvre Museum |
 |
| Inside the museum |
 |
| Massive crowd..must be something good!? |
 |
| sneaking in a little closer...can almost see the painting now... |
 |
| just a bit of security |
 |
| And there it is...I'm such a good art history student |
 |
| One evening we took an Illuminations of Paris tour by Open top bus |
 |
| Avenue des Champs-Élysées which leads to the Arc de Triomphe |
 |
| Petit et Grand Palais |
 |
| Place Vendôme |
 |
| On the Place de la Concorde there’s a large merry-go-round erected each year that illuminates the foot of the Champs-Elysees |
All in all, I think we spent most of our time eating crêpes and drinking in cafés! And we did a nice amount of shopping too :)
 |
| Best hot chocolate EVER |
