passed by arc de triomphe




walked down the most expensive shopping street in paris.
the supposedly must visit place in paris.




stopped by at la duree for our sweet tooth.





we were so excited when our food came
that we attacked it without taking photos first.





fave.


next stop to ..
notre dame.




with tonnes of gargoyles.




jen says it's better from the back.




is it me or is it just parisians
that do their bicycles this way.




reminds me of godma tho.

some other random cathedral in the area.




hurried over to the eiffel.
started drizzling when we got there around nine plus.
and everyone got excited when it lit up with the sparklies.





day two.
to champagne.
finally got a chance to take their railway out.





after an hour and half later.




headed to moet and chandon for their cellar tour.





got ourselves tics for the tour
together with 2 glasses of grand vintage.

but figured since we were here alr, so wth.




dark winding underground tunnels that branch everywhere.

aging.




riddling racks.
