Bonjour et bienvenue à mon blog! I started this blog as a way of sharing my experiences in Paris when I interned there during the Summer of 2006. Since then it has become a forum for all things awesome in the lives of my little family and I. Enjoy!

Seine Sights
There were two landmarks that I just had to get a picture of as we were floating along the Seine. To the left there is the prison, surrounding Saint Chapelle, where the revolutionists kept Marie Antoinette and most of the French royals. Looks quite dismal, doesn't it? The Place de La Concorde, where she was guillotined is just across the bridge and down the way, but history said they paraded her about the city for a long long time before they took her to her fate. Down below and to the right is a picture, taken quickly as the buildings got further and further away, of Paris' skinniest house. You can see it there between to two larger buildings. I'll definitely go and get a better picture later on, but I just couldn't help but post this one, since it was taken from quite a different angle. It is obvious that this house has laid off the crême broulée and the goat cheese.
