Back in 2008 my boyfriend Brad (now husband) was studying abroad in a charming town called Braunschweig in North Central Germany. I came to visit for a week and was able to see this beautiful small city with touches of classic gingerbread architecture and medieval castles. He surprised me with tickets to Paris for the weekend and we grabbed a short flight to the city of light and landed in darkness around 11:30 at night. For an age before smartphones we sure figured out how to get around- we used one of those weird foldable paper things called a map. We saw as many sites as we possibly could in two days including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc De Triomph, Sacre Coeur, and the Moulin Rouge ~ we did see the outside of the Louvre, but unfortunately we were unable to get inside due to the super long lines that wrapped around the building. We will definitely make the trek back to Paris to see the parts we missed. All of the wonderful architecture and lovely shop windows make Paris like an outdoor museum itself!
