My Parisian Trip!

So I have really dropped the ball on my Parisian trip. I thought that posting some pics of the trip might suffice along with some quick words about my lovely trip. YUMMY FOOD, FANTASTIC WINE, BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS!

In Notre Dame

One of my favorite pictures with the Eiffel tower poking through in the background.

Notre Dame
 Just as the sun was setting we made our way over to Notre Dame, where a crowd had gathered to watch the street performs. The light was fantastic with everything turned golden.




Creme Carmel

Quiche from the bakery down the street.

Delectable raspberry torte

The torte was the highlight of one of our picnics. After picking up several cheeses, a lovely baguette, some grapes and a bottle of wine life was perfect!

Cafe


Boeuf bourguignon

Seriously delicious dinner. Melt in your mouth. Somewhere in the Latin quarter behind Notre Dame. Started with mussels in white wine, then boeuf bourguignon, and topped off with delightful chocolate mousse. I loved the food in Paris. So rich and decadent.
You know it. Classic Eiffel tower pic

 After an action packed day of sight seeing Mom and I headed to the Eiffel tower... absolutely spectacular. Even though I was beyond terrified of the heights on top, I can still appreciate the beauty of it.

One of the beautiful fountains at Versailles

I loved walking through the gardens of Versailles. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and we wondered around in the sun; sitting down by the lake and enjoying an ice cream was a definite highlight.

 So that is a succinct over view of my beautiful trip!
