We crammed so much into the few days we were there: The Sacre Coeur, Place du Tertre, The Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame (although the queue was so long we couldn't be bothered to go inside, plus it was such a hot day), walked the length of the Ile St Louis, the Shakespeare and Company bookstore, the Eiffel Tower, walked down the Champs Elysees to the Arc du Triomphe (through Place de la Concorde), took a boat trip around Paris, navigated the Metro, visited various museums (although the Jewish Museum had closed by the time we got there). We got to see the outside of the Louvre - the inside will be for another time.
We went to some lovely restaurants and sat in some lovely cafes. Apart from one day where the weather was a little miserable and it rained for five minutes (while we were on the boat), the weather was generally glorious.
This is definitely a city that needs more exploring - can't wait to go back! Below are a few snaps from our few days.
Annoyingly, the journey home was ruined by train delays so we got home at a ridiculous hour of the night but nothing could ruin our first break as a married couple.

I'll just stick with Gazpacho |
