Audrey Hepburn was so right...Paris is always a good idea!

When we were planning our trip to Greece, it just so happened that we were able to score a great deal for flights on Air France...the only "hitch" was that we had to stop over in Paris. In the category of "as long as we are there", we decided, why not spend a few days in Paris?
My sister-in-law had not been to Paris since she was in high school, so I played the role of tour guide. I showed her all of my favorite places and I also discovered a few new favorites (including the Paris flea market which I am posting about on Wednesday).
Since there is no shortage of blogs dedicated specifically to Paris (I read many of them myself), rather than telling you every little detail of our trip, I am simply going to share a few of my favorite photos. I hope you enjoy them...

We covered A LOT of ground in four days and we had the aching feet to show for it! But, it was well worth the pain. I am already trying to figure out when I can go back again.
Anyone want a personal tour guide?
