Paris -Day 1

We planned two days in Paris to recover from our jet lag and to visit some of the sites including Norte Dame Cathedral. The weather was beautiful when we arrived. It was sunny and in the 70s. We took the train from the airport to the Latin Quarter were we had reservations in a small hotel called Hotel Michelet Odéon. Paris is expensive and we were lucky to book this hotel a couple months ago at a great rate. It was perfectly located and it’s fun to walk around the Latin Quarter. After brief nap we headed over to Norte Dame. The cues to get in were long but kept moving. It is possible to make a reservation 2 hours ahead of your visit but we were unable to do this in time. It is free to visit the cathedral and definitely with a visit. According to some of the locals the lines are longer than usual since it has only been open a couple months since the fire.
