The McCooey's of London: Paris: A weekend getaway

Since we've both been to Paris a handful of times (more for Mike due to work) I needed to make a list of "to see's" that we had never seen/visited before... After a bit of research we did the following and had so much fun!

We went to Place des Vosges which is "suppose" to be the prettiest park in Paris, but when we got there we were both like "huh? I don't think so", but whatevs it was surrounded by pretty buildings so maybe they should have said wealthiest and not prettiest? not sure...

Then we were off to eat falafel at Chez Marianne ....

Sacre Coeur off in the distance

then we were off to visit Sacre Coeur and Place de Tertre (think artists painting in a square surrounded by cafes) although we have been to both of these before we hadn't since our first trip to Paris in 2003 so I threw it in there and glad we did because we had a lovely time sitting at a cafe having a drink people watching while the artists were painting.

Made a pit stop by the Arch de Triumphe

cant tell if he's trying to be goofy (as always) in the picture or if the sun was bothering him?

The next day we checked out Musee de l'Orangerie so that we could see the cool oval Monet rooms. It's worth a stop by if you've never been. It's free!
