Avignon

From where we left of last time in Switzerland we headed back into France and down to the south to the French Riviera. The photo above is of the old city of Avignon from the other side of the river. The old part of the city itself is the only place outside of the Vatican city that any Pope in history has resided.

beach in antebes

From Avignon we headed to Antibes and when in the south of France what else would you do but head to the beach.

Next stop on the agenda Monaco!

eiffel tower

Our amazing European adventure kicks of the lovely Paris, Such a cliche but this city truely was all i imagined. The city of romance it felt so easy to get swept away in the place, the people and of course the food!

Palace gardens near the Louvre

From the Eiffel tour we headed for the Louvre and come across these amazing gardens near the Louvre, it turned out that the next time we were here there was a carnival to the left of this shot where the ferris wheel gave us amazing views across the city and most importantly as the wheel itself was not a landmark attraction it meant that we could view all of the landmarks of Paris from here.

sacre coure

On such a beuautiful day, in an equally beautiful city, the day out to Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur (pictured) was stunning. The views from the Sacre Coeur and the atmosphere of Montmartre was everything i had imagined Paris to hold.

Notre dame

Following the river Seine through the city on our final day in Paris we visited more of what this wonderful city had to offer, The Notre Dame Cathedral shown above.

The first stop on our trip through Europe complete it was now off to Swtizerland, however it would take alot to out do that which the magical city of Paris has left!
