Bonjour from Paris! I still can't believe we were there! Chris and I, along with our jet-setting friends, Chris and Angelsea spent 15 days traveling through France, Swizterland, Austria and Italy. It was an amazing trip to say the least. This has been a dream of mine for a long time and it was everything and more that I hoped it would be. I have so many pictures to share and I hope I don't bore you for the next few weeks!
All of the buildings in Paris are beautiful. This city is full of structures that are over 2,000 years old and they are still standing. Everything is so well maintained and you can't help but fall in love with the architecture.

We arrived in France early Friday morning, dropped off our bags and walked, got lost a few times, but finally found the famous Eiffel Tower. The tower stands 1,000 feet tall and wasn't built to serve any function but to impress.

Arc de Triomphe. This is the city's largest square and most congested with traffic. This is where the Tour de France bicycle race ends along with any parade of significance.

Our first night we too a cruise down the Seine River. Everything was lit up and even more beautiful. The french don't neglect details!

Sainte Chappelle is a Gothic church which was built to house the Crown of Thorns. It took only six years to build, which is unheard of Gothic times. There are fifteen panels of stained glass (6,500 square feet) that tell different stories from the Bible.

Notre Dame. This cathedral is 700 years old and only took more than 200 years to build! Can you imagine working on this your entire life and never seeing it finished?
