We arrived to record temperatures in Paris. We've seen heat on this trip, but we've always had AC. Not so in Paris. I should have felt excited arriving in Paris. Instead I had anxiety. We have 5 days and no plan. We'll figure it out, we always do.
Our first day we went to the Museum D'Orsay, the Louvre and St. Chapelle Cathedral..
Paris is a big, beautiful city. If you ever get the chance, make the trip. I think you could spend a month just in museums. I wish I had a commission on the gilt paint in this town.
The Museum D'Orsay
The Louvre
Van Gogh self portrait - still my favorite artist
The Winged Victory of Samothrace - I'm assuming it was stolen
The Mona Lisa - apparently the main attraction based on the throngs of tourists
From inside the pyramid
A painting that replaced the love locks on the Pont des Arts
Love locks left at the ends of the Pont des Arts
Notre Dame
St. Chapelle Cathedral
St. Chapelle Cathedral - beautiful glass
The Seine
St. Jacques Tower
Typical art nouveau Metro entrance
