In just 9 days Bryan and I will be heading to Wichita, KS to get on a plane and start our Christmas trip to PARIS! That's right, Paris! Mike asked us at Thanksgiving if we would be interested in going to Paris for Christmas but as a workaholic (I know I laughed at that statement too) I said "No, I don't think I will be able to get off work with this short of a notice" . I quickly retracted my initial answer and said "Yes"....I mean what was I thinking saying No to begin with????
Our plane leaves Wichita Christmas Day around 2:00pm and we arrive in Paris in the morning hours. We have a long list of places we would like to visit, but with the time constraints and spending time with Alex (step-brother who lives in Paris) and his family we probably won't get to all the places, but we will hopefully get to see our top choices. We tried to think of places to visit other than museums and architecture type attractions, which lead us to The Catacombs and Jim Morrison’s Grave. Those two options are really absurd sounding for places to visit, but it should be interesting. Of course the other places on our list are: Notre Dame, The Louvre, Pompidou, Eifel tower, Versailles, La Conciergerie, and Moulin Rouge to name a few.
We are also going to be celebrating the New Year in Paris, which will definitely top our list of New Year celebrations!
Happy Holidays!
Joyeuses fêtes!
I hate to butt in, but I've been to Paris a few times. The Louvre is great IF you're an art afficianado. If you're not, wait until after 3 or 4pm and you get in for cheap and can still see all of the major exhibits (Mona Lisa, Venus, etc.). I'd also highly recommend Musee D'Orsay -- it's AMAZING! (And I don't like museums!) I'm totally jealous. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really into art....so we'll probably just go to say we were there and move on. I'll have to ask Alex abou the Musee D'Orsay it wasn't on the sights I looked at but he lives there so hopefully he'll take us to some good places! We are really looking forward to going!
