Catching up from life...the vacation tour continues....
On our first day in Paris we started the morning with a trip to Arc de Triump
It's such an amazing structure. I wasn't up for visiting but am so glad we did.
All of Paris is around you.
And the sun came out!
In all my years in NY I don't think I've ever seen a poster change in the subway.
Or a police man on rollerblades. I think he was busting her for not biking on a designated area.
Heck if I know.
The gates of the Palace of Justice
A bridge near Notre Dame.
You are to buy a lock, write your name and the name of your beloved and throw the key into the Seine River.
Love.
We climbed the stairs of Notre Dame and we able to see the gargoyles up close.
And the amazing views of this beautiful city.
Even though it was overcast it was amazing.
Notre Dame allowed photography however no flash.
It was super busy as only a couple of days before Christmas.
Another beautiful church.
We crossed the bridge over to Ile Saint Louis in search of a famous Parisian ice cream.

If only I had a coffee maker with k cups
Lovely flowers
Found our destination. Maison Berthillon
Because of it being close to the holiday we weren't able to purchase from the store but we were recommended to try a cafe around the corner.
We feasted on Hazelnut, Chocolate and Vanilla with Honey.
It was AMAZING.
After that most delicious treat we walked to Musee d'Orsay.
An incredible museum.
Life changing to be amongst such beautiful art and a truly beautiful building.
After our museum tour we pit stopped at a cafe for some coffee and to drool at our view.
We then went on to a late dinner.
I ordered a chicken dish while the hubby decided on the night's special.
Sooooo
It reads Cocotte de Rognon de veau.
We figured it would be a veal dish...however learned later it was a...
Casserole of Veal Kidney..
Lets just say we ate dessert quickly.
Then we went off to the last boat ride along the Seine.
Among the most beautiful buildings in the world lit up at night.
My absolute favorite.
