Notre dernier jour à Paris
Our last day in Paris. Also our 6 year wedding anniversary!!!
We started the day with a little shopping, which is a wonderful way to start any day!
Then we got on some bikes and rode down to the Panthéon.
After looking around and finding Voltaire's tomb we took our bikes down to the Palais Garnier - Opéra national de Paris
I would have LOVED to have seen a ballet here!
We spent way to much time there taking an extremely boring tour of the building. They didn't take us anywhere we couldn't have gone on our own we could have read all the information from a pamphlet in half the time. We weren't allowed into the actual theater because of the rehearsals going on. But it was beautiful inside so I am glad we were able to see it!
Then we headed to the Musée du Louvre. About time right? We took a Rick Steve's guided tour that took us to all the good stuff.
Like this painting of Jesus when he used "lasers" to burn holes into St. Francis of Assisi's hands, feet and side... yes that's right, awesome!
We decided to head back to the apartment to rest, shower, and change for the night.
Feeling refreshed we took the Metro down to Trocadero for dinner. Then we decided to spend the night walking around and enjoying the view of the Eiffel Tower.
My last crepe in Paris. Soooo good!!
Before calling it a night we added our lock to a bridge over the Seine. Apparently it's the cool thing to do in Paris so we had to do it. We are so French.
Our flight left the next day. We had such a great time. Thank you Tata and Pierre for letting us stay in your house and taking care of us while we were there! We love you guys and hope you can visit soon!!!

Such a beautiful building, and even prettier on the inside!
