How to see Paris in a Day

Max had Colombus day off {who even gets that day off in America} and so he decided he would take me to Paris in honor of my birthday!


Here is how to see Paris in a Day {actually 8 hours}:

Board a Bus at 6 a.m. and drive for 4 hours to Paris through France's beautiful countryside {not really as bad as you think, minus the loud snoring man..that snored that whole drive}

Arrive at 10 a.m., get on the metro, have no idea where you are going, somehow get into the city right in front of the Opera de Paris Garnier, the Opera house used in Phantom of the Opera


Walk down the Champs de Elysees and admire all of the pretty buildings, restaurants, parks, leaves falling, and crepe stands


Arrive at the Arc de Trimophe

After admiring it's beauty make your way to the Eiffel Tower. Once you get there take as many pictures as possible, and enjoy walking around the tower and in the parks {just ignore the extremely many guys trying to sell you minature eiffel tower statues...they can be pretty persistant}


Stop and have lunch in front of the Eiffel Tower...{something i have dreamed about doing}


After eating walk slowly away from the Tower as you continue to admire it


Continue your walk through the beautiful city of Paris {really it's the most beautiful city}

See the Les Invalides a group of beautiful buildings where the real Napolean is burried


Make your way to Place de la Concorde. Here there is an Obelisk that was erected in the 19th century and is a 3200 years old obelisk from the temple of Ramses II at Thebes. Also this square was also the location of the guillotine during the French Revolution. 1119 people were beheaded here. King Louis XVI, Marie-Antionette, and Robespierre all were placed under the guillotine. Kinda gruesome I know.

After viewing that lovely place make your way to the Tuileries. A beautiful park with fountains and statues and my favorite falling leaves.


The Tuileries lead you right up to the Louvre.

This museum must be the one museum you visit in Paris. It is huge but holds some of the most famous and beautiful works of art

After spending about 2 hours there begin your walk to Notre Dame. On the way you will cross the beautiful Seine river via the Pont Neuf bridge, Paris' oldest and most beautiful bridge.


Look at the darling bookstands.


After admiring all that you will arrive at Notre Dame...walk inside then make sure you walk around the whole building. The back is my most favorite part of the building.

After Notre Dame you should have about an hour left. There are lots of Paris souvenir shops so buy a magnet or keychain something to remember Paris by. Then make sure you eat a crepe. This must be done while in Paris. Why? because they happen to be quite amazing. If you have sweet tooth i would recommended a cinnamon sugar crepe. If you want dinner get a ham and cheese one {the are the best tasting things in the world}

Next find a metro stop...get on the metro...ride to the bus stop...hop on and totally crash...your legs are pretty sore after a whole day of fast walking...

And that is how you see Paris in a Day! It was the greatest day ever!
