Paris….. there truely is so much to see and do here.  We have been very fortunate to have had lots of time to see all the sites and sounds and not having to rush.  Here are a few of the adventures we have been on s far

The Eiffel Tower… over 60 Million people visit it each year.  The most popular touris attraction in all of France.  They repaint it every 7 years, but it takes them 3 years to do it.  (below a view from the eifel tower, and the eifel tower at night – it lights up every hour starting at 9 for 5 minutes)

Our next adventure was to vist the luxumbourg Palace (below)

This was a beautiful palace and free to go and visit.  It is close to the university so very popular for students to come and eat lunch there.  The yard is massive and beautiful.

Our next little adventure was the pantheon.  This is a giant church and tomb for some famous people in France.  Pretty famous and huge and right beside it is a famous church.
