Paris all in a day

I am a couple of posts behind, so I am taking time in the airport to play catch up. First up, our one day Paris trip. 

We woke up horribly early to catch the Eurostar. It is a pretty slick deal since it is fast and gets you into the heart of the city. 

Like so many things, Notre Dame tends to look so much less impressive than it truely is when seen through the lens of a camera, though it does not prevent people from trying.

We also stopped to get a picture of the hotel I stayed in last time I was in Paris. 

We also saw a film crew on the river. 

Next up was the Louvre. 

We did a quick visit since it was very hot and crowded. 

The gardens were lovely. 

And then the Eiffel Tower. 

We also did a lot of walking and eating. It was a very full day.
