Notre Dame.....

In order to see Paris but avoid taking the car anywhere near the city center we stayed well outside in a suburb called Massey. Waking bright and early we were soon out the door and boarding the train that would take us into the city for a quick, one day, Paris excursion!

After twenty minutes we arrived at our stop and climbing the stairs from the underground platform we emerged into Paris! At the time I could scarcely believe that we were there and honestly, I still cannot believe that I've been to Paris. Well, things became real rather quickly as we were walking along taking it all in when we happened upon Notre Dame. I hadn't spent a great deal of time reading about Paris because our time there was limited to part of one day so it was a nice surprise to happen upon a such an amazing landmark!
