Mon dieu je suis à Paris!!!

I was quite sad to leave Troyes and I hope no one caught me tearing up as we left on the train to Paris. Yet more delights are in store for us because we have arrived in the brilliant, grand city of Paris! The hotel is the perfect size and everyone had a chance to rest up before we go out tonight. This afternoon I got to visit Monmartre! We climbed the stairs and gazed out at the wonders of Paris. We then passed by the famous Moulin Rouge and a risqué boulevard!

I have already explored around the neighborhood where we are staying and I have found that there are so many more glories of France that I have yet to uncover. Hopefully tomorrow we can see the Musée D`Orsay and some picturesque gardens. I feel so lucky that I am travelling with a native French and also Daniel, who is quite familiar with this city. I`m off to find a good yet not too pricey French restaurant near Notre Dame!
