When you hear the word “Paris”, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and Notre Dame instantly come to mind. And they should! These are some of the most iconic sights in the City of Light. And for me, no visit to Paris would be complete without at least a walk by all of the above.

SherriIn doing Paris research months ago, I got completely intrigued by a day in the Eiffel Tower district and western Paris. We had gone to eat in the Eiffel Tower last year, which was an incredible experience, but it was cold and rainy, and so we didn’t really get to hang out and soak up the Eiffel Tower experience to the fullest.

SherriNow I sit at Cocomama, an upscale hostel/hotel in Amsterdam, converted from a brothel 10 years ago.
Dan and I said our goodbyes early in the morning; he was off to the States (he’s probably going to land in San Francisco in the next couple of hours);
