Paris- July 2014

One of the highlights of my summer has been my trip to Paris in July. I traveled there with Jennie and met up with Swany, YC, Sam and Gwen from high school. We had an amazing time!

Sightseeing during our 4 days in Paris:
  • Musee d’Orsay
  • Musee du Louvre
  • Arc de Triomphe
  • The Panthéon
  • Sainte-Chapelle
  • Palace of Versailles
  • Went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower
  • Saw the Centre Georges-Pompidou
  • Saw the Palais Garnier
  • Went shopping in the Marais district
  • Notre Dame de Paris
  • Montmartre/Basilica of the Sacré Cœur
  • Shopping on Champs-Élysées 

Food :)
  • Ladurée  on Champs-Élysées (famous for their macarons)- had breakfast there and it was one of my favorite meals. Still dreaming about their French toast. They also have the best bread I tasted in Paris.
  • Le Comptoir du Relais- famous for French cuisine, waited a long line for a table and menu was entirely in French, but it was a cool experience.
  • Le Perchoir- not sure if you enjoy tasting menus, but this is one of the best I've ever had. Might be a nice evening out for you and your wife. They have an amazing rooftop bar with great service and views of Paris, including Montmartre/Basilica of the Sacré Cœur.
  • Le Garde Robe- hole-in-the-wall wine and cheese bar located near the Louvre. They will recommend wines based on your preference and I really liked their charcuterie and cheese plate.
