Two days in
Paris
Paris. What a fantastic city! We arrived at the
railway station early on Saturday morning and we walked to our
hotel. It was quite a long way but it was sunny and warm. The hotel
owner was happy to see us and showed us our room. It was amazing.
From our window we could see the River Seine and the famous
cathedral, Notre Dame. We stayed at the hotel for one night and
ordered real French food in the
restaurant!
Later on Saturday morning we decided to take a
boat trip down the Seine and we passed our hotel! Then we visited
an art gallery and the Musee D’Orsay, which was once a railway
station. There are a lot of Monet’s paintings there. I love his
work.
On Sunday we walked in the park by the Eiffel
Tower and, of course, we looked in some shops! The clothes weren’t
very expensive but you can buy the same things at home, and anyway
we couldn’t put any more clothes in our bags! In the afternoon we
walked to the Sacre Coeur, a beautiful white church on a hill.
Nearby there is a place with a lot of artists. One artist painted a
picture of Amy. It’s very good and it wasn’t expensive. In the
evening, sadly it was time to come home. Paris was lovely and we
have some beautiful photos to remember it. Next time we want to
stay for a week!
