PARIS

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PREPARE FOR PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paris was absolutely amazing and I loved every part of it.  It is now my favorite city and I could easily see myself living here.  Three days was simply not enough to take in the whole city, but it was a blast.  I also liked seeing my fellow Americans (and speaking some english).  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the pictures (and many selfies sorry) from my adventure in Paris.  Explanations for pictures will be in the caption under the picture.  Please comment is you have anything to say or any questions!

Waiting at the train station for Paris.

All of us are ready to hit the big city!

Gotta take some selfies on a 6 hour train ride

The Louvre

The Louvre

But did you really go to Paris if you didn't "touch" the top of the Louvre pyramid?

And you must do it in selfie form...duh

The streets of Paris

The Concord.  This is what the Washington monument was based on.  There are hieroglyphics on each side of it.

A rough picture of the Champs-Elysées at night

MY FAVORITE STREET EVER!!!!!

The Notre Dame at night is stunning.  Sadly on our trip we never got to go in because of giant lines.  I'm sure it is just as stunning on the inside.

Selfie at the coolest Arc in the world!!!

L'arc de triomphe

Going under the biggest round-about in the world to go up the arc

The stunning architecture under the Arc de Triomphe

The eternal flame under the arc symbolizing that we will never forget the people who gave their lives in the war.

The stairs to the top of the arc...it was tiring...

I loved being on top of the arc and seeing the whole city.  It was a little cloudy that morning but you can kind of see the Eiffel Tower in the distance!

The city from the top of the Arc with the Eiffel Tower in the distance

The ceiling at The Lafayette (it is a giant, gorgeous mall).

The roof of Sacre-Coeur.  It was one of my favorite places we visited.

Seeing this church was defiantly worth walking up a huge amount of steps in the hilliest part of Paris

The beauty of it all is stunning!

The Saint-Chappelle church.  Built in the 13th century it is one of the oldest standing buildings in Paris.

It was also one of my favorite sites we visited because the whole ceiling was made out of stained glass windows.  It is the largest in the world.  The stained glass window has a scene from every story in the bible. 

My first picture with the Eiffel Tower!!  So much bigger in person.

Casually touching the top of the most glorified antenna in the world...no big deal!

When you are super excited to be in Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Selfie with the most famous painting in the world (the Mona Lisa if you can't tell from the pic)

The back of the Notre Dame.  Even cooler than the front!  

The relaxing Jardin de Luxembourg

The prettiest cafe in Paris.  This is very popular and many celebrities have eaten here

Napolen's Tomb

On the second level of the Eiffel Tower

And a selfie of course!!!

On top of the largest antenna in the world!!!!

Selfie as well because the Eiffel Tower is cool

Fam Team Squad (minus bella because she is afraid of heights) on top of the Eiffel Tower!

The coolest part of the Eiffel Tower was by far the glass floor.  Kinda creepy but really awesome!

Do we look french yet?????

We didn't actually go in...

Just had to get a selfie!!

The chalk/street art was so cool.  This was done in a plaza right by our hostel.  The artwork was supporting marine life.

Walking along the Seine

Over the Seine is the famous lock bridge.  There were so many locks on the bridge it was astounding.

We ended our trip relaxing in the Jardin de Tuileries.  This was the first time the sun stayed out for a long time and it was very relaxing.  As I rested before the 6 hour train ride I overlooked the Louvre (the giant building in the distance).

The gardens were beautiful!!
