Seeing Paris part 2

• The Catacombs - so creepy! 
• Getting up and seeing the sun rise over the Eiffel Tower
• Montmartre – we took a free (you tip at the end) walking tour through the old artists village, saw where Monet painted his famous Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (most exciting for Monique!) and finished up eating dinner at a classically French Brasserie. Daniel had the option of eating snails but passed it up for a hearty and less scary option of provincial roast chicken (soft).
• Getting into The Lourve for free as it was the first Sunday of the month. We thought we’d outsmart them and get there before opening to beat the crowds. Unfortunately every tourist in Paris had the same idea and when we arrived the queue was literally about a kilometer long! It was also quite funny watching literally hundreds of people clamoring to get a picture of the Mona Lisa.

Our week in Paris has definitely been a highlight so far. We crammed a huge amount in and were utterly exhausted by the end, but it was so worth it. It’s probably hard to say much about Paris that hasn’t already been said, but we loved it and thought it was beautiful.
