Private tour of Paris for free? Yes please!

Today we got to see Notre Dame and it was amazing! We walked inside and saw all the intricate details of the artwork inside. It was breath taking for all of us. We contemplated paying to go up one of the towers but then the plan was vetoed by the length of the line that wrapped around the building. We took about 100 of the exact same photo on each of our cameras but it was worth it.



Then at night Flora offered to meet up with us at the Saint Michel fountain. (Don't worry I made sure to get a shot of me with the sign, just like Dana finding the 'Dana Center' science museum) She walked us around the area for three hours talking about what we were seeing! She was able to answer questions like 'What is that for?' or 'What is this building?' when usually we just ask each other shrug and move on. It was so wonderful having a local there to show us around who had all this knowledge of French culture. I loved every minute of it!
