Adventures in Paris: Day 2

Sunday we headed out to check out some shops near the Louvre. Sadly all stores were closed, which I should have known better, most stores are closed in Germany every Sunday. Instead we grabbed breakfast at a cafe near the Louvre. After several cups of coffee, salt pancakes and crepes with bananas and nutella, we caught a train to Moulin Rouge.

Paintings along the entrance.
We then walked to Sacre Coeur, stopping to take pictures along the way.
I can not get enough of the beautiful streets.

Sacre Coeur


Sunday afternoon was HOT! We all knew there was no way we could climb to the top to see Sacre Coeur up close, so instead we found a cafe near by for some wine, cheese and a chance to cool off.
Afterward we made our way to the metro and took a train to Notre Dame.
Here are several pictures from our visit to Notre Dame and a little of the surrounding area.

After walking around for several hours we headed back to the hotel to rest and freshen up.
We really wanted to see Paris at night, so after our short rest we headed out on the town.

It was a wonderful evening, the weather was perfect.
Hope you guys enjoyed the second day of our trip to Paris.
There's more to come tomorrow!
Thanks so much for reading along!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! The weekend is almost here!

I LOVE all the pictures. I think my favorites have to be those of the Eiffel Tower at night. Beautiful!
You're good!
I doubt if I ever make it to Paris, so I love sharing your experience there.
Continue to have fun!
Love,
