For our last full day in Paris we started out with a breakfast in a cute-little cafe near our hotel. It was wonderful! Scrambled fried eggs with potatoes and a small salad. We also had a crepe with jam. Very Tasty!
We then took the metro to see the Eiffel Tower. It was huge!
We then went to the Arc de Triomphe. We were impressed, but more impressed with how busy the roundabout was. It was ginormous! Very high speed and people cutting eachother off.
Then we went back to our hotel and got ready for our "fancy" dinner. We went to Le Grand Colbert. This place was AMAZING! The food was wonderful! It was also in the movie, "Somethings Got to Give". Our waiter was even in the movie!
This was the most amazing dinner! The restaurant exceeded our expectations by far!
After dinner we went down to the fair and got our favorite icecream cones for desert.
We just strolled around the beautiful city until we came upon our cruise boat on the seine river. We waited until 10:30 for nightfall so we could see Paris lit-up at night.
It was very fun...and romantic! A perfect date and a perfect way to end our trip in paris.
The next morning as we were walking to the Metro to catch our bus into the airport, we came across many beautiful pastry shops that Paris has to offer. We thought we would share with you how amazing these looked!

First Day in Paris
Today we woke up and planned out our day. We first stopped by a little stand and got two HUGE crepes...MMmmmm they are good here. We both had half nutella, half caramel. We then stopped by Notre Dame. The place is beautiful! They had a mass going on inside, but still we could go in. After that we went to Luxembourg Gardens. After our short stay there, we headed to The Pantheon. This place was great! The pics do not do The Pantheon any justice. By the time we were done here it was about 2:30pm and we needed some lunch. So, we stopped by a cafe and had a little (3 course lunch) bite to eat before we heading to The Louvre. We were both tired and we had about 2 hours before we could get in, (If you got a ticket past 6pm you only pay 6 euros), so, we dipped our feet in the cool fountain and took in some sun. Once in the Louvre we realized how big it really was! The place is HUGE! Because of our walking around all day we were ready to soke our feet again after only 2 hours of The Louvre...but we got plenty of pics...even though we did not post many. At around 8:15pm we walked over to a nearby fair and had some dinner....then some icecream! Very great and busy day. :)
