Paris, France

I went to Paris for a long weekend with one of my classmates. Luckily she spoke French so I just sat back and enjoyed my time. We packed a lot in the four days we were there, I would have to say my favorite was probably the Louvre Museum. Where we saw the Mona Lisa, the armless Venus, Code of Hammurabi... You could spend days there and not see it all.

Not too far from our hostel was the Sacre-Coeur Basilica

Here is the Effiel Tower from a far on a cloudy day

We went up the Effiel Tower at night, then walked around the Tower which has a little light show every so often

Here we are at the gates of the Palace at Versailles, a massive palace with a beautiful garden

A part of the garden at the palace which flowers would fill during the spring time

The famous Arc de Triomphe

We managed to make it into the Catacombes of Paris, there are thousands of humans bones in the catacombes that were moved here from cemetaries in the 18th century.
