As soon
as we got out of work, we hopped on a train and headed to Paris for
the weekend! As soon as our train got in
around midnight, we headed straight to the Eiffel Tower (hence the title
Midnight in Paris). A fellow global intern is doing a rotation in Paris, so we
thought it would be a great idea to visit him and share his place for the
weekend. He visited us the weekend before in London and we all had an amazing
time sightseeing together and sharing stories from our first weeks as interns
in different countries. We knew France would be celebrating Bastille Day, so we
thought it would be a great time to head to Paris. On Saturday we went to Versailles which was one of the most gorgeous places I have ever visited in my life. The palace itself was magnificent, but I also loved the many gardens that surrounded the palace. At first we were unsure whether or not we would have enough time to go to Versailles, but I am so glad that we decided to go there. I would highly recommend it to anyone going to France. The Hall of Mirrors was one of my favorite places in the palace. I also loved the garden outside the Grand Trianon which was filled with white lilies and gorgeous views of the palace canals. It was a great day!
On Sunday I spent the day exploring the
city of Paris. I decided to go to the Louvre and Notre Dame, but I also managed
to take a river tour on the Seine which was really nice. Touring on the river provides an entirely
different view and I managed to snap some great pictures. After a day of
sightseeing, I headed down to the Eiffel Tower and saw some fireworks and
enjoyed some great food for Bastille Day. Our trip to Paris was a great
experience and I definitely crossed many items off of my bucket list!
