3 Days in Paris



I guess we weren't expecting a lot from Paris as it was kind of just a quick stop for a few days on the way back from Tuscany to London.
Because of this i think we enjoyed it a bit more than we were expecting. I had been 10 years before in the winter time and was keen to see it in the summer.
On our first day we had some decent weather so we took a boat trip on the Seine and passed many of the famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower,Notre Dame, and the Louvre. After the boat trip we headed to one of the largest street markets and had some lunch. In the afternoon Renee and i went and lazed around in one of the parks and enjoyed the sun while Alan and Darlene went to a gallery.
Over the next few days Alan kept himself occupied with galleries and we checked out the Sacre Couer (church) at Montmartre and did a bit of shopping. We visited the Tower but as it was raining we didn't go up.
I found the people were nicer than I expected and although we had a bit of rain it was still very nice to see it in the summer. The best part was when we were done it was only a 2 hour train trip and we were back in London.
