[2014] France
[July 2nd - July 5th 2014]
This was the last (and I think best) portion of the trip! I was especially excited because I took French in high school, so I felt a small connection. I got to speak French on a few occasions and managed not to mess up too much...luckily the locals understood what I was saying!
Avignon.
Cute souvenir shop in Avignon :D
L'Arc de Triomphe. The arch was huge, and when I looked closely, I could see tons of details that I never noticed in pictures online.
We went on a cruise on the Seine river! I didn't get to go into Musée d'Orsay but it was cool to see it.
The Eiffel Tower was huge! You'll see more photos of it soon ^_^
Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris. The interior and exterior were both gorgeous.
At last, we headed up to the Eiffel Tower! This wasn't included in the tour but since so many of us wanted to go, we had the option of paying the bus driver a little extra to get there.
Inside!
I'll never get tired of seeing cityscapes.
Versailles Palace was one of my favorite spots during this trip.
Hall of Mirrors! It was so cool learning about it in history, so being there in person only added to my experience.
The garden was absolutely lovely. If I had the option of going back to any of the places on this trip, it'd be here. (Well...or Mirabell Gardens!)
Louvre Museum is another must-see place.
The Mona Lisa is famous, but did you know it's actually quite small?
This is actually my favorite painting from the museum: La Jeune Martyre.
And this was my favorite statue!
Thanks for checking out my France post! I'll wrap the trip up with an overview <3 Have a nice day/night!
