1. The Louvre, the biggest museum in the world. Of course we didn't see even a half of all the artworks it has, but have covered the most important ones: Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Victoria, Appollo room, Napoleon's Coronation and a ton of greek sculptures :) The museum itself is extremely impressive both from the inside and from the outside! And the glass pyramid, the new entrance is simply stunning!
2. The Tuilerie Gardens
3. Champs Elysees :))) (we had a lunch in a very fancy restaurant right on the Champs Elysees, I had snails, but unfortunately they didn't have frog legs..)
4. Arc de Triomphe > amazing view on whole Paris! Very impressive!
5. Had crepes at Ile de San-Louis
6. Had ice-cream at Latin Quarter, watching the street performers
7. Seen the crazy Centre Pompidou and the hillariously absurd Stravinsky fountain
Photos are coming soon!

Frog Legs
I'm not sure if you enjoy cooking or not, but if you want to give frog legs a try once you return home you can get them at http://marxfoods.com. I've only made them once so far and it wasn't my best creation ever (see blog), but I'm looking forward to trying again. Enjoy your trip!
