Fourth Stop: France

France was another country we were just kind of squeezing into the schedule as we passed through. We only spent a day in France and, of course, picked Paris as the city to spend the time in. I hadn’t really heard a whole lot of good things about Paris from friends that had been before, so I wasn’t really expecting much. But was pleasantly surprised! I really liked Paris.

We took the Channel Tunnel from London to France. Right after we got off the train, we found a laundromat so we stopped to wash the contents of our backpacks so that we could be good-to-go for another week.

Once we got that done, we then went sightseeing!

First, we went to Notre Dame.

Next, we went to Sainte Chappelle. This place is absolutely stunning. Each pane of the stained glass windows depict an individual Bible story. And the entire chapel is filled with these window panes. It’s unbelievable!

We went to the Eiffel Tower, of course. We were looking around for someone we could ask to take our photo… when we saw one of my friends from work! It was so random but they took some great photos for us.

We got dinner near the Eiffel Tower and then waited for the sun to set. It was such a pretty area and neat to watch the tower light up.

Even though we only spent a day in Paris, we had a great time!
