We visited Notre-Dame today, four years after the fire that destroyed its roof and spire. The cathedral was still closed, surrounded by scaffolding, cranes, and construction barriers as craftsmen worked toward its restoration and reopening.
Golden hour at the Arc de Triomphe, with the Eiffel Tower hiding in the corner.
We left early in the morning for Versailles and spent most of the day touring the palace and gardens. The palace was impressive (7/10), but the gardens were easily the highlight (10/10). We ate lunch at one of our friends' (David and Sherin) favorite spots at the back of the gardens.
A slow morning in Luxembourg Gardens before spending six hours getting lost in the Louvre. Fueled, as all good days in Paris should be, by pastries and sandwiches. Also including an unreasonable amount of walking.
Arrived in Paris exhausted after a sleepless overnight flight. Then we walked out of our Airbnb to find a little corner store for water, milk, and food. And just around the corner, we find this is the view of the Eiffel Tower.
