Our second day in Paris was a whirlwind of sights and sounds—a journey through art, history, and iconic landmarks. From the captivating Louvre to the towering Eiffel Tower and the awe-inspiring Notre Dame, every moment felt like a page from a storybook.
The Louvre: Where It All Began
We started our day at the world-famous Louvre, stepping into a treasure trove of art and history. Georgia was thrilled to finally see the Mona Lisa in person, leaning in close to study her mysterious smile. Dotty, on the other hand, had a wonderful time twirling through the wide halls and admiring the shiny marble floors.
We didn’t try to see everything—the Louvre is far too vast for that—but we enjoyed wandering its grand galleries, pausing at sculptures and paintings that caught our attention. It was the perfect start to a day of exploration.
The Eiffel Tower: A View Like No Other
Next, we made our way to the Eiffel Tower, its iron frame gleaming under the crisp, sunny sky. After a morning on our feet, we decided to take the lift to the top—a choice that saved our legs and gave us more time to enjoy the incredible views.
The panoramic view of Paris was breathtaking. Georgia eagerly pointed out landmarks she recognized, and Dotty was fascinated by the tiny boats gliding along the Seine far below. It felt like the entire city was laid out just for us—a memory we’ll carry forever.
Notre Dame: A Cathedral Full of Stories
From the Eiffel Tower, we hopped on a train to Notre Dame. The cathedral, even in its ongoing restoration, stood as a testament to Paris’s rich history. Georgia had endless questions about the building’s architecture and the story of Quasimodo, while Dotty was happily entertained chasing pigeons in the square outside.
We found a quiet spot to enjoy ice cream and soak in the vibrant energy of the area. The combination of history, culture, and family time made this stop truly special.
The Train Ride Home
As the day came to an end, we boarded the train back home, watching the city lights dance in the distance. The girls were tired but happy, and we couldn’t help but reflect on how lucky we felt to be experiencing this journey together.
