In the previous post, I showed some of the food that we indulged in when we visited Paris. In this post, it's time to show a few of the main sights of Paris. And I mean a few. There are so many sights in Paris that this post can only show a tiny fraction of them. This time we skipped the Eiffel tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Sacre-CĹ“ur (and a gazillion other sights), and we still were occupied for three full days, walking around and taking in the sights. One place I always make sure we don't skip however, is the Place de la Concorde, my favourite spot in all of Paris. So let's start there...
