Au Revoir Paris!
We got back from our trip to Normandy in the afternoon so we spent the rest of the day checking off the final things on our must see list. We paid a visit to the Rodin Museum where Rodin’s sculptures were displayed in a beautiful garden surrounding the museum. Walking through the garden was a wonderful way to experience Rodin’s work. From the Rodin Museum we braved the Metro to Montmarte. We popped into a chocolate shop where we got some kouignettes that took the prize for my favorite pastry in Paris! After weighing myself down with baked goods and caramels we climbed our way up to Sacré-Cœur. After climbing the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, Sacré-Cœur didn’t seem that bad at all. We toured the Sacré-Cœur Basilica which sadly didn’t allow photography. You’ll just have to take my word that the inside is stunning! We climbed back down and picked up some dinner at our favorite spot, Monoprix, that we enjoyed at the Jardin du Luxembourg. No evening was complete without another trip to Berthillion!
We spent our last evening on a cruise down the river. It was beautiful to see all the buildings and monuments around the Seine lit up. I decided to take a break from snapping photos and just take it all in and enjoy the moment. I’m glad we waited until the end to take the river cruise-it was a beautiful way to cap off an awesome trip! Until next time Paris….
