Take Me To Paris - Day 4
Stop 11 - Laduree: Laduree is one of the best known makers of macaroons in the world. Obviously, we couldn't pass up the chance to visit the original Laduree store and try them for ourselves. These were actually the first macaroons any of us had ever tried. Although a pricey, the macaroons hit the spot and made us "macaroon converts."
Stop 12 - Champs Elysees: We figured that if we were going to visit the Champs Elysees, we might as well see it like the participants in the Tour de France. We rented a bike, threw the kids on, and biked along the road known to be the final leg of the Tour de France.
Take Me To Paris - Day 3
Stop 8 - Catacombs: We first attempted to visit the Catacombs on our second day in Paris and decided to switch up our plans after discovering a 2-hour wait. In order to avoid the lines, we got there just before opening the next day. The kids enjoyed getting to run through the underground tunnels and wanted so badly to touch the bones. We were impressed by how the bones were so carefully stacked into unique patterns - especially considering the large amount of bones.
Stop 9 - Palace of Versailles: Wanting to see the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, we rented a row boat and hit the water. The grounds were HUGE and immaculately landscaped. The kids had a blast in the row boat and especially loved getting to help Ryan row.
Stop 10 - Paris's Covered Passages: After hearing rave reviews about Paris's Covered Passages, we decided to choose a few of the passages to explore for ourselves. Passage Panoramas and Passage de Princes were definitely our favorites with their cool vintage vibe. Passage de Princes was especially cool as it was an entire passage dedicated to toy stores for the kids.
