Bus Tour, Boat Tour, and Bonaparte

So today was my first full day in Paris and it was busy! We took a bus tour after breakfast. I liked the tour because we were able to get a view of the city as a whole. The tour made me realize that France is much more spread out than I thought it was. The movies and TV shows make it look like it is so close together, but that is not the case. 

The bus tour dropped us off at the Eiffel Tower, and that is where we went for lunch. The food that was served was amazing! The chicken was amazing, and the desert was delicious. It seemed unreal that I was eating lunch in The Eiffel Tower! Most people cannot say that they have done that, and I feel so grateful that I was given the opportunity to do so.

After lunch, we went on a boat tour throughout the city. The tour allowed us to get a different perspective of some of the sights we saw earlier and other sights that we didn't see. During that tour, I got a beautiful view of Notre Dame, which made me so excited to visit! Pictures do not give justice to it's complicated and detailed beauty.

After the boat tour, we went to visit the burial site of Napoleon Bonaparte. He is buried in Les Invalides in Musee de I'armee. The architecture was amazing, and it's structure vaguely reminded me of The Citadel. Everything there was massive. The buildings, stuatues, sculptures, and the tombs were so beautiful.

I would definitely call this first day in Paris successful. It was a great way to get an overview of the city before we go into details. I cannot wait to see what else Paris has in store for us!
