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 |
