{TBT - France, Part II}

Our next stop in France was PARIS!!!!

Pere Lachaise Cemetery


Sacre-Ceur
On our way to the Sacre-ceur Sean got lured in by some aggressive street vendors... He's just too nice to say no. We heard stories in our prep class how vendors will tie a bracelet on you and not let you leave until you pay a large sum of money. Thank goodness we got away with only paying 2 Euros. Scary times. [I was terrified, Sean was totally cool...augh.]


Eiffel Tower


The Eiffel tower lights up and sparkles for 5 minutes every hour on the hour in the evening. Magical.


Arch de Triump

Catacumbas de Paris
We walked for 2 hours through tunnels lined with bones - pretty amazing!


Towers of Notre-Dame

It was just like the movie!



Sainte - Chapelle
This cathedral has every bible story depicted in stained glass - glorious.

The Lourve



Other Things to note:
-Business visit to Unilever
- Boat Tour through city
-Museum d'Orsay [My favorite museum visit of the trip]
-escargot [delicious!]
-shopping!
-Modern Art Museum
