After a wonderful time in Germany, we boarded a train to Paris. It was a relaxing and beautiful ride, the countryside was gorgeous. We spent our first day in Paris exploring the Latin Quarter neighborhood of our hotel, eating yummy food and resting for the next few days of busy.

The next day we hit the ground running with a walking tour of the Louvre museum. We hired a private guide to have a more intimate experience away from the crowds. We of course hit the highlights but discovered some unexpected gems tucked away. It was well worth it. The Princess did show a disappointment in the small size of Mona Lisa, especially after the pushing mob scene to see it.

We enjoyed some crepes for lunch and then headed to our perfume making class. It was a wonderful way to find some quiet in the day after such a busy morning. We made two totally different but yummy perfumes to take home. We ended our day with a performance of “The Lion King” (totally in French) that we just loved. We headed back through Paris at night to our hotel and a well deserved sleep.
