Musee du Louvre Paris

Today was wonderful. It was a sunny and beautiful day in Paris. We spent the morning at the Eiffel Tower, which was incredible. We had crepes with nutella for breakfast and then headed to the Louvre. I couldn't believe all the amazing art housed there. We could have easily spent all day. It was weird seeing the paintings out of textbooks right in …

Bienvenue à Paris!

I arrived in Paris a few days before my program actually started. I knew that our program included a weekend in Paris, but I wanted to make sure I had enough time to do and see everything I wanted to here. For the first time, I am traveling alone and without a pre-determined agenda. The days were completely mine to …

Too tired to update the adventures of our group in Paris. But I am posting photos so stay tuned.

Paris… A city that is on everyone's list to visit (or at least should be), and after this short 3 day stay, it is easy to see why. I am going to preface this blog with some words of advice… If you are a fan of museums, extravagant palaces, french baguettes, the metro system …

We blew into town this morning on the TGV bullet train from Munich. They hit all the marks on this one....leaving Munich on the minute and arriving Paris the same way. The train ride was easy, one of the easiest trips we took. We left the hotel before 6 a.m. this morning and walked the half a block to the train station. The hotel we stayed in was …

We started our day in paris by stopping by a patisserie for a quick bite to eat, then it was off to the museum d'Orsay for Laurie and a bit of walkabout for Bill. We walked to the museum and were in the plaza where the museum was. There was a news stand selling tickets for the same price as the museum, so Laurie bought one to avoid the ticket line …

Gegen 9:30 erreichten wir den Louvre und stellten uns an der ca. 100m langen Schlange am Eingang an. Nach erstaunlich kurzer Wartezeit (ca. 30 Minuten) waren wir drin.
Nochmal so lange benötigen wir dann allerdings am Ticketschalter, so dass wir erst gegen 10:30 mit der Besichtigung beginnen konnten.

Der Louvre ist das drittgrößte und …

Bonjour,

Hello from Paris. The weather today was prefect. It was sunny and mild with a high around 70 F (21.5 C). There was almost no wind and the humidity was low. It just doesn't get any better.

Today we decided to visit the Louvre. This world famous museum is just a short walk from our apartment. That was merciful given my …

Bonjour mon amis,

As quick as the blink of an eye, our visit to Paris is nearly over. This is our last night in our apartment. Tomorrow we will depart the apartment at about 9:30 AM (0930) to begin our long journey home.

The weather today was spectacular. The morning was sunny. Some high clouds slowly arrived during the …

Our mission this past weekend was to hit all of the amazing landmarks in Paris, France with limited time.. and the four of us girls definitely succeeded. We took a 2 hour flight out of Florence early Friday morning so we only had time to hit Notre Dame that night before an awesome dinner and a night out on the town. With only a few hours of sleep …
