Our Monday in Paris was spent embracing this beautiful city in all it's glory. We started off at a famous cemetery called Pere Lachaise, where many famous people are buried such as Chopin, Jim Morrison, and Oscar Wilde. It's a huge beautiful cemetery and the tombstones are like no there. From there we went to visit the Arc De Triomphe. Beautiful and larger than we expected, the glorious Arc is located in the centre of the city and is considered to be one of the nations most significant landmarks. We also walked down the famous street, Champs élysées, known to be the most beautiful streets in the world, along with some of the most expensive real-estate. Soon after, we grabbed a croissant and headed to see the Eiffel Tower. You don't really see the beauty of the Eiffel Tower until you see it in person. No words can describe the perfection of this famous landmark whether you are standing fifteen feet away from it or three hundred. We walked around the tower and saw it from many different angles, and not once did it disappoint. We decided to do what most tourists do and had a picnic under it later that evening. Fresh baguettes, French cheese, cold cuts and wine, no meal could have been more fitting. Tres Bon!
