Friends in Paris: Episode 1

After our European road trip, (read parts 1 & 2 here) Eric and Kimmi spent the next week in Paris with us!
We love having friends in Paris.

Anyways, it was such a blast!
We:
> picnic'd in front of the Eiffel Tower

> went on tours with JP's school group of Le Marais (old mansions in Paris!) and the Louvre (obvi)

> stopped by a carnival where I purchased the largest cotton candy of my life and JP consumed more sugar than I thought was humanly possible. 

> strolled along the Champ Elysees and visited the Sacre Coeur

and...
> we ate at some of the best restaurants Paris has to offer, because let's be honest, we're just here for the food ;)

It was the best week, and then we jetted off to Sardinia, Italy for the weekend! 
(and those posts will be coming soon, don't you worry haha)




 ^^^ Stumbled upon some kids playing basketball, right next to the 1000 year old city wall. 
I think moments like this are why I love Paris!

 ^^^ Nike Frees are the best way to walk around Paris. Just swallow that pride and do it! 

 ^^^ I'm not kidding. That thing was ENORMOUS!

 ^^^ So. Much. Candy. 

^^^ Ummm, yeah. Kimmi is a babe!


^^^ A rare, all-four-of-us shot!

 ^^^ Winged Victory. Absolutely amazing.


 ^^^ Mona. She may be small, but da Vinci considered her to be his greatest masterpiece and so do I!

    1. Get a crepe from one of the street vendors by the Notre Dame!
      And get paris' best ice cream on saint louis (it's a small island near the island that notre dame is on!) but make sure it's "berthillon" ice cream... a few vendors sell it on that island!
      As for real food that isn't dessert... honestly, some of the best food I've had is from the bakeries. I love the panini's and croque monsieurs. But if you're looking for a more expensive meal (and you like steak!) try L'Entrecôte! It's our favorite!
