europe: paris bike ride

onto paris via the chunnel. i pretty much loved everything about paris. we stayed by the eiffel tower and it ended up being a great starting point for many of our activities, including on the first day a bike tour.
we got the history of and saw such sights as the army museum & napoleons tomb, les invalides, the seine,
concorde, tuileres gardens, the lourve,
and course the eiffel tower.
that afternoon we went to see the arc de triomphe and strolled down the champs-elysees.
maybe my favorite stop of the entire trip was to la duree on the champs-elysees where we ate the most delicious macaroons. they were so tasty that we stood outside and ate them all.
that evening ben and i headed up to the highest point in paris to see sacre-coeur basilica and the view. ben really like the gargoyles.
we strolled around montmartre, ate some crepes, and ended at the moulin rouge.
