Paris, the first episode

Posted by on June 8, 2012

We had a really nice time in Paris. Our CouchSurfing host Paul-Andre was a really wonderful person. He picked us up at the train station and we went directly to a barbeque party to one of his friends who just bought the house and started renovating it. It’s a house build in 1820 with a hill on the backside and the house has a direct connection to the hill over a sort of cave so we actually ate and discussed in that cave (look at the pictures). What could you wish more for the  start of the vacation?

In Paris we visited the typical touristic atractions from which the most important are the Eiffel Tower(the view  from the top of the tower is great) , Sacre Coeur and the artist’s quarter, Versailles which was very nice but overcrowded, went down the Champs Elysee to the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame.

We were not so lucky with the weather but still found time to take some nice pictures. Look at the gallery below.

One amazing thing we’ve seen or done

Seeing someone perform amazing tricks with a football in front of Sacre Coeur. You have to watch the movie below even if you’re not a football fan and even if it’s 12 minutes long, the best part comes at the end :)

    Seems like a good start – nice pictures!
    12 minutes for the soccer guy only *yawn*, I hope you got enough harddrives with you ;-)
    Oh, and, didn’t I recommend a video cutting tool? :-D

    Are you looking for a rideshare in montreal? I can read your mind… :-p

    Extraordinara ideea voastra cu turul lumii… imi place tare mult si samburele dorintei unei astfel de calatorii cred ca a incoltit si la mine in minte. Oricum, pozele din Paris sunt grozave (off-topic: cu ce aparat le-ati facut?). Voi continua sa citesc blogul. Distractie placuta si drum bun!

      Salut Marius,
      Ma bucur ca ne urmaresti blogul. Pozele le-am facut cu un Canon 550D, lentila de 18-135mm.
      Si in celelalte post-uri sunt niste poze fainutze, cele mai faine de pana acum cred ca sunt in cel cu Banff si Jasper.
      Daca incoltzeste samburele :) , trimite-mi un email in caz ca te pot ajuta cu detalii sau experiente ce le-am avut sau alte cele.
