Au Revoir, Paris! _BateauMouche



Au Revoir, Paris.


Last night in Paris. *sad face*

YS and I walked around the Louvre while it was quiet at night.
There was a man playing the flute. It was very romantic and beautiful.
Exactly what I imagine when I think of Paris.




Then we went to the Eiffel Tower.

Since it was a Sunday, we were going to go up to the top, but the line was way too long. So it came down to the top of the Eiffel Tower vs. Bateau-mouche.


We decided to take the boat ride instead. But here are some more photos of the Eiffel Tower! (there will be more from the boat too. hehe.)




And a video of the sparkling tower too! You can hear YS talking to me!




The 1 hour boat ride around Paris on the Seine was super! Can't wait to do it all over again.


We took the boat from Pont Neuf. I really liked the guide too. She explained things very well and had a few interesting stories/myths about Paris. She pointed out the smallest house in Paris too. I might have a picture. not sure. lol...(*I thought I did but I don't..bleh...)


The sexy Seine:




More Eiffel Tower (because you can never get enough of it!):




More bridges (you can find the names :P) :





People on the bridge:




Musee D'Orsay at night:




Pont Neuf:




Ratatouille Moments!! :





Invalides, the ferris wheel, and more Paris:





Notre Dame at night:





First public hospital in Paris and the Conciergerie:


*YS and I kissed under this bridge with our eyes closed...hopefully all of my wishes will actually come true. lol. (we had to kiss b/c if it's your first time under the bridge, you have to for a wish to come true! or that's what our guide said. lol.)


Some pictures that I took of the bateau as YS and I were getting off the boat. It was a really really cute boat and super romantic.

Like, SUPER romantic. lol.

LOVED it !




It was definitely a little too cold to take at night (in January).
Next time I want to take it during the day or early evening!
If it's warm, it will be super dooooper awesomes!



I really liked how I ended my last night in Paris with a bateaumouche ride. It was a nice way to end my stay and get a brief overview of the city that I lived in for 2 weeks!


So many more places to go to and so many places to re-visit.



J'adore Paris!
