Paris, France - January 2013

We caught the train for a quick 2 hr trip from Brussels to Paris. Wow I love Paris, it is an amazingly beautiful city. Em and I stayed at Perfect Hotel, in the Montmartre area. It was basically a nice hostel, good location walking distance to the moulin rouge.

The first thing we did when we got there was find a restaurant for lunch. We found one close by and ordered champagne! It was delicious.

That night we went on a Montmarte walking tour which I would recommend. It meets out the front of the moulin rouge and takes you for a 3 hour tour around the area where all the bohemian artists used to live and also up to the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur, an impressive church on the top of a hill that has great views out over Paris.

We spend four days in Paris. Highlights were going to the Moulin Rouge for dinner and a show (wow wow wow!), the louvre, the musee de orse, a walking tour around the city, going up the Eiffel Tower (it was so high I was scared on the lift!), a trip to the Palace of Versailles and of course shopping and champagne. And practicing our French ;)

We caught the Eurostar back to london which goes through the Chunnel- so quick and easy ill definitely be making more trips back and forth!
