Paris- February 25- March 4

We only had a week in Paris and it went far to quick.  Our condo was a 10 minute walk to the Eiffel tower so you can imagine we spent a lot of time just walking to the park and admiring the beautiful structure.  One day during the week we made the trek out to Versailles to see the Palace of Versailles.  We spent the cold day exploring the Palace along with the Grand and Petite Trianon and the Queens Hamlet.  Every time I come to this estate I always leave wishing I was a princess, however knowing the ultimate fate of Marie Antoinette changes my mind.   One of our days in Paris we spent the whole day just exploring museums from the Louvre to the Orangerie which houses Monet's Waterlilies.  It was amazing to be standing along side the works of such great artists.  We spent the rest of our days at cafes sipping cappuccinos and eating eclairs and croissants, we had a wonderful time.
