As we say goodbye to another city in Germany we are en route to France! We had a quick stop in Frankfurt for the night before we headed off for a day in Paris. We arrived in Paris ready for a free day of crepe eating and sight seeing, along with 40° weather which we were all ecstatic about. For many of us it had been our first time visiting the city and couldn’t wait to see what the City of Lights had to offer.
We started our day being dropped off at Notre Dame, one of the most famous churches in the world. From there we enjoyed our free afternoons with some of us visiting sites such as the Louvre and the Arc De Triumph, while others utilized the stores and cafes on the famous Champs-Élysées. We then met back at Notre Dame, with our stomachs filled with delicious Nutella crepes and macaroons and were then off to see the Eiffel Tower.
Once we all got our touristy pictures with the Eiffel Tower, it was time for a beautiful boat cruise on the Seine. The cruise offered amazing views of all famous landmarks in Paris, including Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay and some beautiful Parisian styled buildings. Not to mention that the cruise was made even more beautiful with the sun setting as we were on board.
We have now made it to our hotel in Normandy and cannot wait to learn about D-Day and how World War II had affected this Northern Region of France.
