Paris.

Alex & I arrived in Paris on a Saturday night and took a stroll down the Champs Elysees to the Arch De Triomphe. The city was bustling and we stopped to share a crepe and later some magnificent macaroons at Laduree on our way to the Eiffel Tower. We started off the next day with Musee d'Orsay before hiking up to beautiful Sacre Coeur. This cathedral on the hill full of artists and cafes ended up being our favorite part of our short trip. We ended the night with goat cheese, a baguette and a bottle of Bordeaux that we purchased from various shops on our way back down the hill. On our last day we saw Notre Dame and traveled the two blocks from our hotel to the gigantic Louvre. The architecture and the Mona Lisa were beautiful, but the museum was too crowded for comfort so our trip was short-lived. For our last French meal, we feasted on snails (delish!), wine, scallops, pasta and creme brule. Oui, oui! Early the next morning, we flew back to Copenhagen.
