Paris je t'aime

Paris is a beautiful city filled with great food, backstreets and history. I had an amazing time here. I can't wait to visit again!

Arc de Triomphe


Eiffel Tower at night


At a romantic piano restaurant with Jenna for my birfday


Paris metro


Awesome backstreets


View of Notre Dame from the Seine River



Love padlocks on Pont de l'Archevêché bridge. Supposedly sweethearts put a padlock on a bridge and throw away the key to symbolize their love.






Notre Dame






Justice Center.
I unintentionally stumbled upon this place thinking it was a museum/tourist attraction. Little did I know it's a court. I completely walked in on a court hearing on accident...oops!



Free the gnomes!!
