We got to spend a good 2 1/2 days in beautiful Paris! We were there 12/21 to 12/23. Two train rides and a metro ride, we arrived at our beautiful hotel! My aunt hooked us up with one of the best views at this hotel! We had a nice little balcony that unfortunately we didn't get to use too much due to the cold. We said at Le Regent, it was it the best location...right by everything!
Here are some pictures from our balcony...
Our first order of business in Paris was of course shopping! So we headed down to Le Bon Marche!

Pretty Church...
Side entrance to the Louvre (12/22)...
This is the Arc De Triomphe du Carrousel....the smaller version of Arc de Triomphe de I'Etoile
After some site seeing we headed back to get ready for dinner at l'Ardoise. We didn't get a picture here :( but we sat by a fun group of people and had a great meal!! Afterwards we were filling adventurous, so we decided to walk to the Eiffel Tower. Now let me just say that the Eiffel Tower is NOT as close as it looks...promise!! What we thought would be a 20 minute stroll to the tower ended up be a 2 hour hike to the other side of Paris!! Mind you it was a beautiful walk....but it was a long one!
Looks like it is just across the street....but it isn't!
Pretty building we passed...
Almost there...
We finally made it!!!
The underside...no one ever takes this picture!
The next day (12/23) we ventured out again before our train left. We hit up Harry's New York Bar, this is where many famous drinks were invented...like the Bloody Mary and the French 75.
After our drinks, shopping, and eating we headed back to the hotel to pack up and head to Brussels!
Here are a few pictures of our hotel room....
Next up....Brussels!
