Paris, France

France was our first international expedition. We took off from JFK International Airport aboard an Airbus A380. The Jumbo jet was incredible, it almost felt like boarding the Titanic of airplanes. Its hard to believe but these jets can carry 868 people! There we were all headed to the beautiful city of Paris.

We stayed in Paris for 2 weeks at Hotel Du Collectionneur. During those two weeks we learned that the most convenient way to travel is by metro. Here are some of the spots we visited:

  • Louvre Museum

  • Arc de Triomphe

  • Palais Garnier

  • Eiffel Tower

  • Palace of Versailles

  • Champs-Élysées

  • Montmartre

  • Seine River Cruise

  • Jardin du Luxembourg

These are some of the most notable spots in Paris but our favorites are the small unpopular but authentic experiences. Such as a small market we discovered on rue Poncelet. There is a bakery called Paul with delicious croissants and a café with amazing cheesy omelets. If we returned to Paris it would be to discover more hidden gems. On our flight back home, we made a transfer in Amsterdam. As the plane landed we looked out of the window and noticed how beautiful the landscape was. Just like that Amsterdam has made it on our list of future expeditions.
