Paris...Day 1 & 2...

Here's are a couple pictures of our apartment here in Paris. It's very modernized

 Our view from the apartment

 The first thing we did after settling into our apartment is walk over to the Notre Dame Cathedral. It was about a 10 min walk for us. 

 Then we walked to the Louvre.

 The next day we took the Met to the Eiffel Tower. It was so neat to see in person! There is so much intricate metal work involved in it. 

 In the elevator on the way up the Eiffel Tower.

 

 

 Next we went to the Arc de Triomphe and then walked all the way down the Champs-Elysees

This is the monument showing where the Guillotine stood during the French Revolution

 There are a few of these ponds near and they are always surrounded with people reading, sleeping, talking and such.

The Gardens near the Louvre.

 And the grass is also filled with people.

Next we went into the Louvre. We especially wanted to see the Mona Lisa.

 

And we stopped to get an icecream! I like how they served it!

 Last evening we took a boat ride down the Seine River to see the lights of Paris. It was beautiful.

Every hour for the first 5 minutes the Eiffel Tower sparkles with lights so we watched that.
