More Paris!!

You guys, with this pregnancy brain I have, I completely forgot I have a zillion more photos to share with you from when I was in Paris this past Fall! It took me a while to get through my 1000+ photos I took {yes, I literally took over one thousand pictures!} but I powered through and made it happen. Hope you enjoy 🙂

Where to stay

While Sommer, Amanda, Stephanie and I were in Paris, we decided that the best bang for our buck would be staying at a vacation rental instead of a hotel. Sometimes I prefer hotels and other times, I prefer vacation rentals. This time, it made a lot of sense to be located in a more centralized location so nothing was too far to walk or take an uber to. We used Girls Guide to Paris Apartment Rentals and stayed on the Ile St. Louis, very close to Notre Dame. Our apartment was quite large and had all the amenities we needed. And actually, the owner of this apartment just had a cocktail recipe book come out! Coincidence? I think not! Also on Girls Guide to Paris site are all sorts of available apartments for rent! We were able to tour a few that I would LOVE to visit on my next trip 😉 {Amanda took some great photos here.}

hi baby bump 🙂

What to do

Besides eating all the wonderful food Paris has to offer, we definitely tried to see all the sites we could possibly see over our 8 day stay. One way we were able to do with was with a Segway Tour {through Fat Tire Tours}. This was one of the highlights of the entire trip! Our tour guide was hilarious and kept us in a great mood the entire time {even though we were freezing in the wind and rain!} We got to see all sorts of landmarks and because we were on our Segways, our feet didn’t get worn out {though mine were aching just about every day, thanks to pregnancy.}

Notre Dame

Walking through Montmartre

Montmartre is a spot in Paris built on lots of hills! Lots of cute shops and beautiful, colorful buildings! I loved exploring this neighborhood.

Arc de Triomphe

Rue Cler

Walking Tours

Eiffel Tower

Of course, we spent a lot of time at the Eiffel Tower, walking around it, watching it sparkle and taking lots of pictures of this gorgeous landmark at sunset!! This is just the epitome of Paris, is it not?

Until next time, Paris!!
