PARIS: Golden Pretties

What was my favorite thing about Paris?

Seriously.... how can I articulate how wonderful the trip was, how beautiful the city is --- yet alone --- decide what is my "favorite thing about Paris"?!

Let me start off by sharing with you what we accomplished in a mere 4 days.

To start, we went to a wedding!

The whole reason why we traveled was to attend a wedding. A GORGEOUS wedding.

Filled with REAL love. 

Let me just say, their wedding vows: AUTHENTIC and POWERFUL.

LOVED it!

That aside, we had 3 days left. 

Our home base was located in Place Vendome. From there we went off and we...

Walked the Jardin des Tuileries

Place de la Concorde

Assemblee Nationale

Cheered on runners in a 20k run

Eiffel Tower

Grand Palais

Place Charles de Gaulle

Arc de Triomphe

Champs Elysees

Place de la Madeleine [attended a service where my hubby read the English portion of the Universal Prayer]

Place du Carrousel

Musee de Louvre 

Notre Dame

Sainte Chapelle

Conciergerie Palais de Justice

Riverboat Cruise on the Seine River 

Medaille Miraculeuse [attended another service]

Musee Rodin

Musee D'Orsay

Place de Vendome

We walked the ENTIRE time.

Except for a taxi to the wedding and farthest destinations to begin 2 of our days [Notre Dame and Medaille Miraculeuse].

Along the way we stopped in quaint cafes and restaurants for breakfast, snacks [aka cheese and wine], and dinner.

I LOVED EVERYTHING about our trip. I can't say what I liked the most.

But, the GOLDEN PRETTIES found EVERYWHERE is a definite love!
