Parisian Streets, Monuments, and Buildings

Day two of Paris was so lovely with a walk down the Champs Elysees to have a picnic in front of the Arc de Triomphe. My friends and I had picked up a fresh baguette from a local bakery and some deli meats and fruit on the way to the Metro station and ended at a park bench in front of the Arc to eat our picnic. We ended up running across the busy roundabout in front of the Arc to go underneath it and see the eternal flame, and later realized there is an underground footpath to get you from the sidewalk to the Arc (whoops!). It's a great memory now, though! 



So many Parisian flags everywhere! The buildings are so golden and pretty with the read, white, and blue striped flags on every street corner. 


Pretty little Metro sign.



Pretty street art on our morning stroll.


With such limited space for cars and traffic, I totally understand why people decide to use Vespas and scooters instead.


Arc de Triomphe right after some rain. The light and the clouds were so beautiful. 


It's me in front of the Arc!







Walking down the Champs Elysees. So many cool shops and restaurants to look at down the street. 


Couldn't help but take a picture of the Harry Potter Exposition sign from France. 


Took this in the middle of the street while my friends were telling me to hurry up before a Parisian runs me over lol. 


Louis Vuitton in Paris, France on the Champs Elysees. Very cool to see in person!
