What did I do In Paris?

Well, I definitely ate a lot of bread and cheese. I didn't have too much wine, but it was nice knowing that I could have if I wanted it.

People like lists, right? They're easier to read than narrative and certainly do the job of getting out information in a short amount of time. So, here's a list (though not exhaustive) of the places we went to or saw and activities that we did. First, we stayed in a great little neighborhood in the 16th arrondisment, at the "Hotel Auteuil Tour Eiffel." We also saw:

The Eiffel Tower
Different parts of the Seine River
Les Cars Rouge (red bus tour like in London)
the École Militaire
Église de la Madeleine (a church where we saw an orchestra & choral concert)
Boulevard Haussmann (window shopping)
Rue Royale (window shopping)
Galeries Lafayette (amazing, gigantic department store)
Place Saint-Michel
Notre Dame Cathedral
Hotel de Ville
Bazar Hotel de Ville (odds & ends department store and cafe)
Avenue de l'Opéra, Paris Opéra (formerly the National Academy of Music)
The Louvre Museum and Tuileries Gardens
Place de la Concorde
Champs-Élysées, Christmas markets up to the Arc de Triomphe
Sacré-Cœur basilica in Montmartre
Red Wheelbarrow Book Store (and numerous other boutique shops)
MANY patisseries, bistros, and yes, Starbucks
the Château at Versailles

We spent a lot of our time just walking around and looking at things, because the city was so beautifully decorated for the holidays. One day, we tried to go to the menagerie and gardens in the Latin Quarter, but it was closed because of ice; we went from one weather extreme to the other!
