De Paris Avec le Jour d'Amour Deux (From Paris With Love Day 2)

The day started off fairly early with breakfast at 8 and a tour of the city starting at 9. We all bored the buses and started off on our tour of Paris. We crossed the Seine and made our way to Notre Dame.

Words cannot describe Notre Dame. The architecture alone is incredible, the intricate sculptures surround the outside, and the decorative stain glass was breathtaking. Before we went inside our guide showed us where “Point Zero” which is the official center of Paris. After leaving Notre Dame we continued on our way through the city of Paris.

We passed the Pont Neuf , which is the oldest bridge in Paris, we made our way to see the Hotel de Ville, which is actually their city hall, and past a number of famous churches in the area. We drove past one of a few opera houses in Paris, which was beautiful, and down the Champs Elysees, which was lined with stores and specialty boutiques. We made our way past the Arc de Triomph, and finally ended at the Eiffel Tower.

We made our way to the elevator, and only made our way to the top. The view was incredible; you could practically see the entire city from there. After spending time on top of the world, we grabbed a bite to eat and spent the rest of the day just wandering around Paris. Later that day we headed back to the hotel, and got ready to go out.

We went back to the Eiffel Tower, and walked around most of the night. We were trying to taken in as much of Paris as we could before we left tomorrow. Just as we walked past the Eiffel Tower, lights began to flash illuminating it, it was amazing. As we walked further down we passed these large pieces of glass with writing etched into them was the word peace in various languages from English to Hebrew to Arabic.

By the end of the night we were all exhausted and made our way back to the hotel. We still had a few places on our list to go see, so we headed off to bed.
