We spent an evening at the Arc de Triomphe. The first thing you should know about the Arc de Triomphe is be prepared for stairs, there are a lot of them. The view is amazing (as most in Paris are).
The Arc de Triomphe is surrounded by a roundabout. No lanes, you just go and hope for the best.
Like I said, the view was pretty amazing. Makes the stairs completely worth it.
-----------------------------
Next up, was the towers, cathedral, and crypt of Notre Dame. Again, a lot of stairs, but the view was also worth it. It is definitely an amazing piece of history, it's awesome that they have still maintained it as a functioning church.
It was a little foggy out that day, definitely added something to the pictures.
The cathedral was beautiful. Protip: the cathedral is free to enter, but it is definitely worth paying to go up the towers.
-----------------------------
This weekend we went to Palais Garnier which is the Paris Opera House. It was gorgeous, I recommend coming here, it doesn't seem to be a very popular place to go, and I do not understand why. It is still operating as an opera house and you can also go to symphonies and ballets here as well. We are hoping to partake in something here one day.

Well, that is all for now. Up next: Dealing with French Bureaucracy: Holy [insert your choice of expletive here] we live in France and are piling up the paperwork to prove it.
