Paris was absolutely fantastic! I got there on Christmas Eve night and just got settled into my hotel. On Christmas day, I went to a mass service at Notre Dame, where there were 2 adult choirs, one men chorus and one women chorus. It was a very traditional service, with beautiful French carols. After, I got lunch at a cute little cafe, and after, I went to the Centre Pompidou (a modern art museum), where I got to see a number of exhibits including an Edward Munch one! So that was really cool. That same day I walked down the Seine River and went to the Eiffel Tower.
The next day I went down to the Champs Elysees and did a bit of shopping and climbed up the Arc du Triomphe where you can see a beautiful view of the city. After taking that all in, I went to see a movie called "Carnage" (an American movies that had French subtitles), so that was a nice break.
The last day I went down to the Monte Martre neighborhood where I saw Sacre Coeur, a bunch of street performers and local artists. I got a picture of myself drawn and gave it to Sam as a Christmas gift. :)
All in all, Paris was absolutely wonderful!! I absolutely love that city and can't wait to go back someday.
