Paris Trip (part 1).

I'm home from Paris! To cut a long story short it started out bad but once all the chaos with cancelled flights and stuff was sorted it was awesome!

Our hotel was about a 7 minute walk from the Champs Elysee and Arc de Trimophe, so we were right in the middle of everything. I did ALOT of walking and my feet/legs still hurt today!

So basically I'm going to do my 'Paris posts' in 3 parts and all will picture heavy so be prepared! This post is of our first full day.
Concorde
View of Eiffel Tower from Concorde
Louvre
Me plodding along outside the Louvre
Alot of the ceilings were like this inside the Louvre, so nice!
And there was a REAL mummy!
Notre Dame cathedral
Notre Dame
The front of Notre Dame, I wanted to go in but the queue was ridiculous.
The Pompidou Center
The front, we didn't go in, the art inside ain't my cuppa tea, but the square is nice and full of street performers.
Ok that's it for part 1. Tomorrow I will post what we did in the evening - which is up to the top of the Eiffel Tower! Obviously a perfect opportunity for some lovely snaps :).

I hope your week has been great, I'd like to thank everyone who has entered my giveaway - which is still open HERE, so go enter! x

  1. The queue's for the Notre Dame are always terrible but on a school trip my friend and I sneaked in the exit door. No one noticed and it was well worth the risk!
    I hope you had a nice trip! Our school one was plagued by perverts, angry people and lots of running!
