Our first full day in Paris did not disappoint! Some slept better than others (I was on the no sleeping side!) but that didn’t stop us from clocking 25K steps and almost 12 miles over the course of the day! Yep, we covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of sites thanks to our awesome tour guide, Isabelle. She led us around the city and gave us all the interesting facts about the cool things we saw. She was wonderful which was great because we spent 3 full days with her! We met up with her on Tuesday morning and walked through the grounds of the Louvre and then headed towards the Champs Elysees…

There we saw some true Parisian sites!

Ok, maybe not the most historic sites but we did enjoy all the Christmas decorations!

We finally made it to the Arc de Triumph and it was so cool to see – the scale is impressive!

Also, any cool photo that I show here was taken by Maxwell! He turned out to be quite the photog on this trip!

We them made out way across the city with a quick stop for a coke and a crepe!

We then made our way to the Eiffel Tower!

We then walked more and ended up at Hôtel des Invalides where Napoleon’s tomb is. Again, it was impressive!

We then said goodbye to Isabelle for the day and headed back to a neat museum she had pointed out. It was the personal apartment of the man who made a lot of the furniture for the king. Yet again, impressive is all I can say!

After a lot of culture, we thought the kids needed a little retail therapy so went and made some custom hoodies at Nike! Très chic!

It started raining just as we were heading back to the hotel so we decided to call it a night and ordered room service. It was a good decision after a very fun and very full day! I was so proud of my little tourists walking all over the city with no complaints! First full day was Très bien!
