7 Days in Paris

For a first day, I thought it would be best to stick one activity, and what better to start with?

Our hotel is near the Rue Cler, so we're going to buy the materials for a picnic on the champ du mars..a relaxing way to start off our week.

Our second and fourth days will be spent entirely at the Louvre. We probably won't see all of it even with two 12 hour days. But we can certainly try.

Our third day will be spent at the Musee d'Orsay and the surrounding areas. This store is close by and will be an interesting visit.

I don't know how or when we can visit this place during the third day, but we will. I will make it happen. I love dessert too much to pass this up.

The main attraction of our third day. This should take up most of the afternoon and evening. Hopefully we can grab some dinner at the restaurant inside the museum!

Our fifth day is going to be entirely Versailles. I think its vastness will require a lof of our time.

After returning to central Paris from Versailles, we hope to catch the last (6:00) tour of the Catacombes, lasting an hour.

Day 6 begins with Sunday Morning at Notre Dame, bright and early. Hopefully after this we will grab some Berthillion ice cream nearby on the Ile de Saint Louis

In the early afternoon after Notre Dame we'll hop on the metro for a few hours at Napoleon's tomb and the Musee d l'Armee.

Hopefully the late afternoon will see time for the Pantheon. How could we miss seeing Voltaire's grave?

Day 6's evening will be spent at the Opera Garnier, in what will probably be a pretty cheap seat, but a seat nonetheless.

Day 7 begins with a morning placing flowers on the graves of the Pere Lachaise Cemetary. I plan on delivering flowers to Chopin, Ingres, Simone Signoret, Edith Piaf, Delacroix and David.

Mid day we'll metro over to Montmartre and first top by the cemetary there, so we have a full tour of the famous and deceased.

While in Montmartre, I'm sure we'll have time to admire the Sacre Couer, and hopefully sneak around the back to admire a view Van Gogh once shared.

Our last dinner in Paris should be a memorable one - and what's more memorable than the Moulin Rouge? Too bad we can't order absinthe.
