Miss Eleanor Jones and I were reunited after two years, so what did we do? Eat crêpes and watch rugby of course!
Crêpes
We went to le Petit Josselin, a crêperie near where I work with the best crêpes in Paris. Notice how large the crêpes are... and the waiters are always baffled when I don't want to have a dessert crêpe.
Rugby!
Elly and me at the Stade de France
The first rugby match I ever saw was France vs New Zealand in November 2011--things have really come full circle!
In case you were wondering, the stadium holds just over 81,000 people and is the 5th largest stadium in Europe. Not bad, Paris, not bad.
Tourist Day!
Elly and me in front of Notre Dame.
Miraculously, it was a sunny day! London always gets the reputation for a rainy city, but I think that Paris could give it a run for its money given the amount of rain and gray skies we have had.
I even went inside Notre Dame! I hadn't been inside since I was ten years old, despite the fact that I have lived in Paris for 5 cumulative months (study abroad included).
And, no Dad, I did not go up the tower. The line was really long again! :)
To end our really long day of touristing, Elly and I went to go see the Louvre at night. The government keeps all the national monuments lit for a few hours just after the night falls and it is really breathtaking.
