2 Days in Paris
Day 1.
We caught the train from Gare du Nord, near our hotel, to Saint Michel. From there we walked around town, through the Louvre, up the Champs Elysées to the Arc du Triomph and over to the Eiffel tower. By then it was raining so we took shelter in the Musée d’Orsay. It was dark by the time we left so we bought a baguette and some Camembert cheese and sat by the Seine with a bottle of Cider. On our way home we walked past Notre Dame.
Day 2.
As Notre Dame was closed the night before, we went back to take a look at the interior. After that we walked through the gardens behind the cathedral and through some riverside stalls selling cute prints and postcards. Then we caught the metro out to Montmarte to see Sacré Coeur. The sky was so beautiful it could have easily been summer. After sitting inside the church for a while we walked around Montmarte before catching the metro back to the hotel. At 8.30pm we got on a night train and slept all the way to Barcelona.
