Paris is far too large to visit entirely in only 4 days and that speaks something of the city. And with luck, we we're privileged to see the city as both a tourist and as a local.
The first two days we spent in a part hostel part scenester music venue. Within five minutes of arriving we're watching a punk rock band and a crowd of loyal fans in the basement venue of the hostel. Later in Paris we spent two nights with awesome Parisians we made friends with in Prague and friends they knew in the town of Maison Fort just outside of the city. One friend, Lucy, in particular showed us true Parisian living. We sampled the traditional Parisian fare of Escargot, Grenouille and Foie Gras.
Of course we also had time to visit the essentials (unfortunately thats's often the situation when staying only 4 nights in a city). We toured the tour Eiffel, the Louvre, the catacombs, Père Lachaise (resting place of Chopin, Jim Morrison and many others), Notre Dame, the latin quarter, and the list goes on. We would like to thank Lucy, Antho, Lisa and everyone else who put us up and put up with us in Paris.

This one was great, so beautiful. Wanted to see more... Loved hearing Eli speak French, pretty good accent dude.
ReplyDeleteDid you guys know that someone made a fan site about you on Facebook? Insane... HAHAHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteHi guys! It's Lauren, your Illinois friend from the catacombs. Loved the Paris video!! Hope the rest of your travels go well. As for that Scandinavian cruise I was telling you about, you can look into it at tallinksilja.com. My friends took ones from Stockholm to Finland and Latvia. The $5 covers your stay, not drinks or anything but its still a sweet deal! Hope all is well.
