Day 5: Off to Paris!

Today we rose bright & early to catch our train to Paris. We took the Chunnel train, which took about 2.5 hrs to make the journey.  You're only in the tunnel about 30 min and then bam! You're in France!
We sent our bags to the hotel and headed in to city center. First stop, Notre Dame! From the front you don't notice much damage  but from the side you see the scaffolding.
We got some wander-around time in the Latin quarter.
Dinner was right along the river with Notre Dame in site. Next we caught the metro up to the Eiffel Tower so we could catch our boat. We got to cruise down the Seine, see all the buildings. Sadly at 830, it's not dark...usually you see the buildings all lit up at night on our cruise. But even at 10pm, there is still some light out...
Checked in to our new hotel!
Ready to see the town tomorrow!!
