We stayed in a one star hotel in Paris. The room was spacious and clean. More importantly, its centrally located between 2 main train station.

After a good night rest at the hotel, we headed out to properly explore Paris.

We headed first to notre dame, which is about 2km away from our hotel. We queued up to climb about 400 steps up to have a bird’s eye view of the city which cost us freaking 5 euros each. zz

The view was spectacular on the top. We can actually see the effiel tower from here. We headed to see the big bell and then went back down into the church.

We walked like almost more than 5km today because we wanted to save money on transport.

We continue walking and seeing other attractions towards the effiel tower.

We went crazy when the tower finally lit up after the sun set. Again, we took a million photos and also some videos.

Its interesting to see the police chasing the people selling sovenirs illegally to the tourist. We had a fun time bargaining with them too.
