Family Vacation: Paris

We had... 2 nights in Paris, I believe. But, we had 2 full days. The first full day, I spirited Jessica away to took her around to the main monuments, then the second day Jess, Dad and I went to Sacre Coeur/Montmartre before meeting up with the grandparents to catch our night train (of death) to Venice.


L'Arc de Triomphe, which was right by our hotel in the 16e arrondissement


Paris by Night i.e. a view of the Tour Eiffel from the Trocadero


First stop on Jess and I's Paris tour: The Eiffel Tower (she didn't come when Dad, G-pa and I went the night before)


We were so afraid it was going to rain.


We actually didn't go UP the tower... the line was SUPER long, and we both didn't feel like waiting.


Notre Dame de Paris... where is started to sprinkle a bit, but not rain.


Inside the Cathedral


The Centre Georges Pompidou, where we did, in fact, go to escape the rain.


Night in the middle of the Champs-Elysées. I love how the cars look invisible.


Sacre Coeur


Guess where this is.

From here, we met up with the g-rents for coffee, then proceeded to the Gare de Bércy (with difficulty due to a strike, of course) and onto our night train to Venizia... which WASN'T airconditioned, and where we accidently bought a 150 euro sub-par dinner for five. Super! Let's just say we weren't very happy travelers when we got to Venice in the morning.
