Photos from Paris! Unfortunately no Pat or Federbär for this trip, I (Katie) went on a trip with my oldest friend, Eleanor! We took the train up on a Saturday and I came back on the Monday, and El stayed a bit longer before rejoining her family. About 80% of the photos I took are of the Palace of Versailles so I might put them in a separate post. Here are the other photos:
 |
| Us on a train! It's about 4 hours from Zürich to Paris. |
 |
| We approached Notre Dame from behind, this is me standing in front of the back. |
 |
| Notre Dame from the front |
 |
| This photo doesn't do it justice, but this is the impressive organ in Notre Dame for the enjoyment of my dad. |
 |
| It was my first time in Paris, I can't not visit the Eiffel Tower, didn't bother going up though. |
 |
| The Seine |
 |
| The missing Berlin Bears! When I was in Berlin last November, we'd heard about these bears and went to see them but couldn't find them anywhere, despite asking about 5 people for directions near where they were supposed to be. Turns out, they'd been moved to Paris! |
 |
| If you look closely this Creme Brûlée is still on fire (I was too slow taking my camera out) |
 |
| Sacré-Cœur Basilica, this was on the hill just above our hotel, very pretty at night, and an awesome view over Paris form the top of the hill. |
 |
| A cheese dish with snails in it. Yes, I ate snails. |
 |
| We happened to walk past the Moulin Rouge, so I thought I'd grab a picture. |
All in all, a really fun weekend! Plenty of good food and good company and Paris is definitely a very busy and lively city (maybe I'm just getting used to quiet Zürich) it reminded me a lot of New York, it's at least as dirty. :P The highlight was definitely Versailles (we spent a whole day there), so I'll have to post some more pictures.
