]]> 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….

France from the air Paris Ile Saint Louis Paris Notre Dame Paris
There was a burst of rain that hit just as we were traveling from the Metro to our wonderful Hotel Diana but after that it was nothing but the most gorgeous blue skies.  The sky really was bluer and the light of the setting sun softer and more golden than it is here.  I’m sure there is some kind of scientific explanation behind it but I couldn’t get enough.

We were staying in the Latin Quarter so we explored the Jardin du Luxembourg and Notre Dame with its nearby bread tent filled with amazing pastries.  I also had my first crepe-the Paris portion of the trip was already off to a delicious start!
