Weekend Trips -- A Series of Touristy Posts: Part 5



Paris, France

I traveled to Paris with a group of Australian law students studying in Geneva and also met up with HKS '13 classmate and friend from France, Emmanuel. 

Our group stayed in Montmartre, close to the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur (Sacred Heart), a Parisian Roman Catholic church crowning the butte Montmartre, the highest point in Paris. 









One of my favorite places visited in Paris was the Luxembourg Garden, which is in front of the French Senate palace. 
  
  

I enjoyed the fountains in the courtyard of the Louvre, as well as a fun carnival ride in the Tuileries Garden. 
 

Our group had fun biking through Paris to visit Notre Dame.

I also enjoyed seeing paintings by Monet, van Gogh, and many sculptures at the Musée d'Orsay.

And of course, it was wonderful to visit and climb the Eiffel Tower at night.
