Our trip to Paris continued with the stunning interiors of the recently restored Hôtel de la Marine and walks through the beautiful gardens of Paris, with stops at the Catacombs, Eiffel Tower, Petit Palais, and the elaborate opera house Palais Garnier. We concluded our Paris experience with a visit to the most famous works of art at the Louvre (including crown jewels which would be stolen a month later).
