Scott And Dayna's Paris Honeymoon (2004)! On November 2nd, Scott and I left for our honeymoon. The destination was Paris, France and we couldn't wait! After doing lots of research (books, videos, French speaking CDs), we were ready to immerse ourselves in the culture and sample the things that Paris had to offer!
Rather than staying in Americanized hotels, we wanted to stay somewhere that offered a more native French flair to it... somewhere that was cozy and authentic. One thing we both agreed on was that it must have a bathroom in the same room! We didn't want to have any incidents like they had on National Lampoon's European Vacation when the bathroom was down the hall! So, from there we talked about some areas of Paris we liked (Paris is separated into 20 neighborhoods, or arrondissements). We really liked the Eiffel Tower area, which has some very intimate neighborhoods in it, especially around the street Rue Cler. We also liked the beatnik/artistic feel of the Latin Quarter. We set out looking for hotels in these areas.
Here's our daily itinerary. Some of the sites we'll see while we're there include: Arc De Triomphe Eiffel Tower Ile De La Cite La Madeleine The Latin Quarter Le Pompidou Les Invalides / Musee De L'Armee The Louvre The Luxembourg Gardens The Metro Moulin Rouge Musee D'Orsay Notre Dame The Pantheon Paris Opera Place De La Bastille Place De La Concorde Saint Chapelle Sacre Coeur Seine River Versailles This, of course, is just a sneak peek of what is to come. We'll tell you all about our trip when we get back! Until then, here are some fun links to check out!
