Paris in Winter

Arrival by night. We trained into the city from the airport, and ended up at Notre Dame metro station. It was very surreal to pop up from the underground to Notre Dame right in front of us!
Eiffel Tower by night... magical


The next morning, a stroll around the beautiful streets, and then a stop for the most amazing 'brunch' ever at Laduree! Pastries, bread, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, hot chocolates, jam, yogurt, fruit..... it seemed never ending! While we sat inside, masses of soft snow fell outside... wow!

Yes, I am happy here :)

Exploring the wonders of the Musee d'Orsay
... so brilliant! I especially loved seeing the impressionist paintings of Monet and Renoir up close!

Nothing says 'Paris' like a fresh crepe


Checking the map like a true tourist, after a very french brekkie
