First day in Paris was fun but exhausting. We checked into our hotel which was pretty nice for the price. Then we decided to head to Notre Dame. The inside was just how I remembered it.
Just across the street was the Shakespeare and Company book store where we wondered over and looked at books for a good long while. After words we grabbed a quick dinner lunch before headed to the Louvre. We managed to get in free after showing our EU student ID cards (aka our Salzburg school ID). Tons of very nice art is inside that glass pyramid. Finally got to see the Mona Lisa and many paintings from slides in art history class.
The next day was jam packed. We decided to head out towards Versailles. We decided to take a special behind the scenes apartment look. One of the highlights was seeing this clock that was made to run non stop for 10,000 years and show the date, time, year, month, planet alignment and much more. We also got a chance to walk around the gardens and to see Marie Antoinette house.
Our final day in Paris was our "Grave Day" as Holly had nicknamed it. We decided to visit some of the famous graves. My favorite grave sight of the day had to be Claude Debussy. Not only have we analyzed some of his pieces but he gave the music world some great pieces of music. We also went down into the catacombs. Not my Favorite part of the day. It was a little to close to the face to death... After most of the day spent in the crematories, we decided to venture out see the Effie tower. We just made it in time to see the first sparkling of the lights. It was so awesome.
The night ended with a walk down the famous shopping street and some lights of the Moulin Rouge.
