Leaving Steps On Every Possible Ground: Paris, France (Part 1)

Let's go... City of Romance... Let's begin our 3-people, 8-days romantic trip... **gags**

DAY 1: Musee du Louvre

Taking an early morning flight to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), we took the airport express train into the city. I believe there should have several ways to get you from airport to city, but we prefer to take train and experience what local did.

That was fast. We are at Opera Train Station.

After check-in to Hotel Richmond Opera, our first destination; Musee du Louvre. Every tourist's destination. This place is huge and filled with different theme of display, from art to sculpture. The building itself is already something you should appreciate.

Look at this prototype of the landscape.
You basically need 1 whole day to walk around.

The original portrait of Mona Lisa.
"Real one hor, not from printer". **gags**

Oh no... This place is really too huge, I think we just covered 25%.

Princess give up and suggest to take a break and top up some glucose before we continue.

That is enough for the indoor. Let's stroll around the garden area.
Landscape is about 2 times the size of the building. No joke...

But princess prefer outdoor because she enjoy her favorite activity - Bird feeding.

Personally, night view is much nicer. Especially when the light illumined the building.

DAY 2: Notre Dame Cathedral, Montmartre and Arc de Triomphe

No less than 37 bridges span the Seine,
the river that separates the Left and Right banks of Paris.

Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the majestic building in Paris. After so many people participated building its unique and varied design, it was consecrated as complete in 1345.

They are not queuing to buy lottery. Instead, they are queuing
to go to the top floor of the cathedral.
Look at the queue... We give it a miss.

Take a break... Glucose refill time.. Lets enjoy the crepe...

The queen and princess start to shop for hats and other souvenir.

Here come to the next stop; Montmartre.

In my background is Moulin Rouge; a dinner cum theater. Should be very entertaining as according to other web's recommendation but too bad, no kids allow. Princess is having fun with Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene; where the strong wind is blowing from the ground to lift the skirt. The wind is strong though... look at her hair.

Out of the sudden, it started to rain. With the environment temperature of 18-20 degree, and with the rain.
This is going to be unbearable.

> BUT NOTHING STOP US <

Here, we are - Arc de Triomphe. Have a quick walk-a-round under the rain, but its really freezing cold.

Too many walking, playing, jumping around.
Princess give up... took a nap in the metro... **gags**

Princess continue her beauty sleep, and we sneak out of the hotel...

The Opera House

DAY 3: Port Alexandre III, Luxembourg Gardens, Cirque d'hiver Bouglione, Montparnasse Tower

Port Alexandre III is a deck arch bridge that spans the Seine in Paris. It connects the Champs-Élysées quarter with those of the Invalides and Eiffel Tower. The bridge is widely regarded as the most ornate, extravagant bridge in the city.

Luxembourg Gardens - the second largest public park in Paris
