Weekend in Paris (lots of pictures, WATCH OUT!)

Middle of March I got the opportunity to play tour guide in Paris to some friends. Not that I could tell you about the good restaurants or cafés- my qualifications are that I have been there a few times already, I can speak French (and therefore try to avoid tourist treatment), and I know how to open the metro doors. It was cold and overcast, but despite the weather it was a blast, really. Every time I go I feel like I get to know the city a tiny bit more, and I am always struck with how beautiful it is.








Tintin! :D




One of my favorite bands- there were posters up all over the metro :)




Europeans really love their Swatches


Expensive but warm coffee break- totally worth it






Two happy lil travelers ^_^








Some awesome sculpture near the Louvre


















This really tickled me... Parisians... at work.


Notre Dame




















Our hostel


Sacré Coeur

I do apologize if that was a picture overload, but it's kind of impossible to go to Paris and not be inspired to shoot everything you see!

Next stop, Madrid and then London! Two weeks of spring break is perfect for us exchange students :)

A la prochaine...
