Fabulous Paris! So many museums and so much history. The first evening i arrived i took a walk along the Seine river that flows through the city. The view by the river is so beautiful! Almost all the must see things can be spotted from here: Notre Dam, Eiffel Tower, The Louvre and The Grand Palace etc etc.
When in Paris one must see the Mona Lisa and that's what we did! It's a pretty small paining hanging alone on a huge wall. So many people are taking pictures with flashes of it, i wonder how long it will keep it's color...
In the Louvre there are many other things that are much more amazing than this small picture, for example the Hamarabi stone (the thing that made it possible to translate ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs). After going to the Louvre i really feel like watching the Da Vinci Code again even though it was a pretty crappy movie.
The subway in paris is logistically really really good, it has stops everywhere, BUT it's really dirty and noisy, a lot of weird people can be spotted here as well...No matter where your hotel is you will be able to travel to all the attractions in short time.
After seeing a few museums, and walking around in town to look at the local Parisian tourist attractions we head the old Kings summer palace in Versailles. The place is just 30 minutes outside downtown with a train. I must say this guy had the taste for summer cottages, the place is so big and built so to say "VIIMEISEN PÄÄLLE". Inside there are huge hallways covered with massive gold and paintings. The garden is many kilometers wide and has an own labyrinth and a few big ponds.
France was great and beautiful but i don't think I'm coming back there for traveling purposes again, all the museums and sightseeing spots are very crowded it's a really touristy city and expensive.
