We arrived in Paris around 14:00 today and haven't stopped walking since then. After we transfered from the airport to our apartment we (which included a nice bottle of wine of which we opened immediatey) made our way to the Notre Dame Cathedral.
The Cathedral was overcroweded with people and it was starting to get dark outside so after making our way around the inside we decided we would try to come back later in the week and hope it wasn't as busy and the stained glass looked a bit brighter. Next, we walked in the direction of Le Madeleine and passed the Louvre where Rob stopped for the photo below.
After passing through the Tuileries Gardens we came upon a very festive Place de la Concorde where we stopped for some mulled wine and a ham and cheese crepe. YUM! I think it's the best mulled wine I've ever had. There was also a very big ferris wheel that Rob said I can go on at some point this week. :)
Following our pit stop for the snack we continued up the Champs-Elyesse and window shopped all of the wonderful Christmas markets. We will definitely want to come back for real shopping soon. Finally, we made it all the way to the Eiffel Tower but we were so tired from the long walk from the Marais where our apartment is located that we didn't want to wait in line for tickets and instead took the metro back home. For dinner tonight we had falafel at a restaurant very near to our place (and because the price was right we might become regulars!). It's been a long day and Rob is already snoozing as I type. I think I'll send him out for our breakfast in the morning :)
