SO FUN!!! Takes me back to when I went.... in 1997. haha Notre Dame was under construction so there was wood thingies in front of the windows. You weren't missing much not going to the top of Tour Eiffel.... just a rickety elevator and an amazing view... If you go again I strongly recommend a boat ride down the Seine, Rodin's house where you can see the Thinker and the Kiss... and the underground Catacombes for a bit of gothic creepy! So fun. Did you see any gypsies on the Metro? That Metro system is huge! Oh and I don't know if you knew, but that arch in the middle of the streets is Arc de Triomphe and also holds the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.... :)
Oh and we went through the Louvre in like an hour... because my aunt had already been there like 3 times with other friends touring... Mona Lisa is TINY! I saw the Egyptian showcase too!! So cool. Did people yell at you for taking pictures? I went to the opera house that inspired Phantom of the Opera and some lady yelled at me there for taking a photo... but she yelled in french so I wasn't offended. hahaha Did you get a crepe? If you go back look for a street vendor and get a crepe with Nutella. So good.
