Second Day in Paris

Today we took an audio tour through Notre Dame. We were only able to view the main floor inside because they're still reconstructing the other floors from the fire in 2019. 




After the tour we needed a snack and we happened upon crêpes. 







After our burst of energy we walked to Ludo jardin inside

Luxembourg garden. 








Marty finally had the opportunity to take the Paris sewer tour! When we were here 13 years ago we arrived right when they closed. It was my mission to make sure he had his chance. The boys and him made there way to the sewer. We stayed behind. They had a journey getting there but eventually rode in a pedicab. It was an experience. 






As they were at the tour we played a while longer at the playground. They then rode a fun carousel. As the girls were riding around they held a metal stick and tried getting rings.








We met back at the apartment and took a little nap. Afterwards we found an Irish pub and had dinner. 







After stopping at the grocery store for snacks journeyed to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre and took in the views.

First Day in Paris

We checked out from our amazing rental in London. It was so close to the to the underground, grocery store, and restaurants. 


We took the Eurostar from London to Paris this morning through the chunnel. It's one of the seven wonders of the modern world, our at least its tied with a couple dozen others for that position depending on who you ask. It was a little over a two hours train ride.










We made our way to our new apartment with just enough time to eat some crepes and waffles at La Crème de Paris. 









We finished the night with a sunset view from the Eiffel Tower. On our way down the elevator we stopped and had a little snack in a globe.
