    The Sacre-Coeur was a port in the storm. What started out as a pleasant day turned cold and rainy while we were visiting. We sought shelter among the nuns, the murals, and the stained glass.

    There is no excuse not to see this if you're in Paris. Utterly stunning and magical, especially if you're lucky enough to catch it during mass. Not too busy, and the sacred atmosphere truly remains throughout the visit.

    This is such a beautiful place to visit, both inside and out. It was free to go in the main part of the Basilica but if you want to climb the dome I believe there is a charge but Im not sure how much. I note that on entry to the Basilica there are signs that clearly state no pictures are to be taken inside but observed serveral peope still taking photos.

    This is the best place to get a view of all of Paris. The stairs are a workout to get to the top, but the view is worth it. The Basilica is beautiful inside, and entry is free.

    Sacre Coeur was a=of course stunning with crouds of people swarming around the front. Take some time to walk around behind it to see it from another view and see it without the crowds

    Good to get your heart going, this trek will definitely wake you up. I thought the church was easy to find and well maintained. However, the no pictures policy is a little too much here...even Notre Dame allows pics!
    The crypt and tower tour was a good time. The sights form atop are almost as good as Eiffel as this is the 2nd highest elevation in Paris.

    Bonjour! Our last day in Prague was pretty uneventful. We went only to see the Mucha museum. Mucha was a Czech artist who began painting young (around the year 1900) and wound up being sent to the Munich Fine Arts Academy by one of his customers (a Count) who had his entire house painted. The art we saw was created on canvas by layering …

    Yesterday morning we checked out of the hostel at 7:30 and walked to the train station- about a 20 minute walk. In the train station we got breakfast from a bakery. This being our last meal in Germany, we thought it was only appropriate to try a Berliner, a jelly-filled donut with powdered sugar on top. Together with a German cup of coffee, it was …

    Katie had to head back to good ol' Leeds in the afternoon, and since the sun was out and it was calling us, we decided to take a trip to Sacre-Coeur. So we dragged Katie's suitcase (don't ask!) through the metro's stairs and walked (yes walked) up to Sacre-Coeur and enjoyed our last moments of reunion.

    I have been to Sacre-Coeur before, …

    Today started off even slower than yesterday. We all still feel like we're suffering jet lag, because we were awake early, even though we were tired. It's probably not jet lag by now, but fatigue from all the walking we've been doing.
    We decided to go to Montmatre and the Sacre Coeur, because it looked like a nice day, and because everything …

    bienvenue à Paris!

    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 design. I …

    First 3 weeks discovering Paris... Week 1

    36 photos

    I'll keep it brief to start -

    The first week has been up and down. A lot of walking, a lot of getting lost and a LOT of time on the Metro... too much time - but that's what happens when you don't really know where you're going.

    I do find the subway system here a bit confusing - and the French do not seem to be huge fans of …

    Eine ereignisreiche Nacht:
    Erst entwickelte unser "Night Groove"-Wecker ein Eigenleben und schaltete sein Licht sporadisch ein und aus, dann weckte uns 6:45 der Feueralarm des Hotels - der ohrenbetäubende Lärm dauerte ca.eine Viertelstunde,

    Da für heute Regen angesagt war, stand ein Besuch des Louvre auf dem Programm.

    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 …
