Paris 2008 |
|
| Paris is called the City of Lights and it truly enlightened our eyes. We packed our five days in Paris with many places to go, but it was still not enough to see them all. We visited the main architectural attractions of Paris, which are the Eiffel tower, the cathedral of Notre Dame, the Basilica of Sacré Cœur and the Panthéon. Visiting the museums of the Louvre and d'Orsay are a must and have been an unforgettable experience. Lesser known but not lesser interesting are the cemetery Père Lachaise and the church of St. Eustache. We also went on a guided bicycle tour through Paris and an eerie 1.7km underground tour through the Paris catacombs. No visit to Paris would be complete without going to the castle of Versailles, seeing the gigantic chateau gardens and the queen's hamlet. We visited friends in Louviers, the nearby gardens of Claude Monet and made a stop at the battlefields of Verdun. |
