The Essential Guide to Paris: Eiffel Tower, Crêpes and more Eiffel Tower

Saturday, May 25th

Today was a Saturday but since there hadn't been school on the last three days, it simply felt like another day of vacation. I had a slow sleep-in morning or "gros matin" and then met some of the other girls in the Buttes-Chaumont park since they wanted to see it after my raving reviews. We tried searching for a library near the Pompidou but just ended up resting near the museum and soaking up the atmosphere. Some friends of Ashley were in town in Paris so we went to meet up with them at Charles De Gaulle and then the rest of the girls at Trocadèro, which has an amazing view over the tower. We had lots of fun playing around and taking goofy pictures.

After that most of us were feeling pretty hungry, we took the boys to a good crêpe place near Motte Picquet. Of course no visit to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Tower, so we went to the Champ de Mars park underneath the tower and stayed to watch it light up and sparkle. As always the tower looked so pretty and simply mesmerized me. After we had been there a bit we got kind of chilly and so went in search of a good bar to grab some food or just sit and chat. Instead we found MacDo. Oh well, American kids what can ya do? It was a really fun Saturday
