Our group trip for the day was to the Sacre Couer. After taking the tube, and getting off right in front of the Moulin Rouge (probably planned) we walked up and down a few flights of stairs and past some cool shops to get to the top of the hill, where our final destination would be.
THE Sacre Couer
Of course some of us couldn't go all that way up the hill and NOT climb the dome... so we did just that! The view from the top was incredible, all of Paris was in sight!
Some cool architectural details.
On way back to the tube, we walked through a few shops, and we passed this gelato place called Amorino. I hadn't had gelato yet, so I decided I couldn't pass up this opportunity!
The store was well designed and fun, and I'm SO glad I got gelato, so worth it! It was even cool how they put it on to the cone... almost as it putting petals on a rose.
We made it back close to our hotel and we ran to the grocery store to grab some things to have a picnic at the Eiffel Tower.

And of course, myself.
The food was delicious, and the setting was movie worthy. Imagine sitting on the grass in front of the Eiffel Tower, there is a cool breeze blowing under the warm summer sun. As you eat you listen to a woman playing her cello beautifully next to a large tree... and you can also faintly hear the sound of kids playing in the backround. The company is perfect, and everyone is relaxed and enjoying their surroundings. Most perfect I must say.
T'was a good day!
