A week in Paris with the kids !!

2025 our plan was to travel to another continent and what a better place to visit than Paris, France !!

A week before spring break we booked a week in Paris, found an AIRBNB right in town and went light with backpacks to walk as much as we could.

The highlights places that we visited in not particular order were:

Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Notre Dame, The President's House, The Assamble National, Canadian Embassy,  Arc de Triomphe, De Louvre, Hotel des Invalides, Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Chateau de Versailles, and many other places, corners, coffee shops.

There was a direct flight from Calgary which made things more simpler, leaving Calgary at 2pm and arriving in Paris at 11:00am. After a 45 min train to Les Maries we got to the apartment and drop the backpacks to begin our tour !!

Next morning and for the following 7 I woke up at 7am and went out for an early run (10-12kms) was a perfect way to get started and see the city without many people. 

Walking around Paris for 8 days was the best way to see everything, on average we walked around 20kms daily !! leaving the apartment at 10am and getting back at 10pm... we went to the Eiffel Tower and took the stairs to the second floor, then the elevator to the top ! what a great way to see the city.

We also went twice to Montmartre to see the Sacre Coeur and areas around it..

De Louvre and la Mona Lisa was neat to see again. The museum is so big that I doubt we saw a fraction of it..

We had dinner a few times outside, and other days just at the apartment. Had so much pastries that truly think we tried enough sugar for a year !

Baguettes were the daily breakfast, with ham and cheese were perfect for the day.

Beni hit pretty much every Louis Vuitton in Paris !! what an obsession ! Went to the Louis Vuitton Foundation too with a great exhibit.

Oh well, what a great time together in Paris, we will have to do it again...
