During our time in Paris, the majority of our time was spent simply wandering through the different arrondissements, snapping photos, and taking in the world famous landmarks. Not only did this allow us to get a great glimpse of the city, but it was also extremely friendly to our backpacking budget.
Starting at the Eiffel Tower, perhaps Paris' most recognizable site, we proceeded to slowly make our way along the neighbourhoods bordering the river Seine over our five days there.

Over those days we wandered around the
magnificent architecture of the Louvre, through the beautiful Tuileries
Garden, past the Grande Roue de Paris (aka the giant ferris wheel),
across the Place de la Concorde, and along the
bustling Champs-Elysees with its enormous Christmas market.

In addition to the major sites, we thoroughly enjoyed wandering through some of Paris' most charming neighbourhoods like Le Marais and Montmartre with their great Basilicas of Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur towering above their surroundings.
