Paris, Part 1: The Tour

Are you ready to take a trip with me to Paris? I hope so, because I have a Paris theme the coming three Thursdays. Let's start with the tour. We visited Paris during Easter and we were speed-tourists, guided by our best friend and we did really see all the things you have to see in Paris. We stayed at the smallest hotel room ever:

I am literally hanging out of the window to take this photo, but it was nice and clean and everything functioned.

The view from our window, nothing to complain over here:

We lived this close to Notre Dame:

Le Train Bleu, the famous and very beautiful restaurant:

A quick view inside, fabulous ceilings:

Sacre Coeur in sunshine:

DH and I in front of one of the vintage stairs to the metro:

Moulin Rouge:

And the photo of  the Eiffel tower from my Dreambox, which I wanted to take myself:

I have taken incredibly many photos of the Eiffel tower and am still sorting them.

And this one is taken without a tripod in the night:

I am SO in love with the Eiffel tower.

Arch the Triomphe:

We visited the Swarovski shop at Champs Elysee:

Here I am sitting on the beautiful crystal stairs.

Notre Dame:

We didn't go up the tower, since there literally was a queue about 500 metres long.

And Saint Sulpice:

Where the Da Vinci Mystery movie was filmed:

The Rose Line, which of course is pure fiction:

We went on top of Mont Parnasse, to enjoy the view of the city:

Here we are with the Eiffel tower in the background: the best friend, his sweet girlfriend, aka the mouse, myself and DH.

We also enjoyed La Fayette, which is an unbelieable beautiful but also very expensive shopping mall:

I was in love with the crazy bottled message shoe:

I was in nail polish heaven:

We visited a huge Sephora at Champs Elysee, and I know you won't believe me when I say I didn't buy anything.

I was in book heaven:

Shakespeare & Company, where I could have stayed for several weeks. Here I bought two small books and lovely bag.

I was in food heaven:

The whole pot is mine, all alone.

And I was in creme brülee heaven:

Ooh, lovely dessert nausea. ;)

Next week I will show you what I brought with me home. This holiday I did shop a little, although everything was VERY expensive.
