Day 11 of Europe- Paris

 Day 11 of #gainesgeauxoverthepond Bonjour Paris! What fun we had today. We loved Paris! What a city full of colorful people and literally a surprise at every turn. We started our morning with figuring out the metro system. Then it was on to tour the Arc de Triomphe and yay more stairs. We loved the view from the top. We explored more of the city and made our baking class at Miss Manon Bakery… we made baguettes and croissants! Avery’s day was complete with a macaroon purchase and ice cream from Amorino which she saw on a YouTube video. We tried to play a Russian roulette kind of game with dinner where we boarded the metro and just randomly got off and tried to see what we could find… well that took an interesting turn when we got off right in the middle of a protest with what I can only described is every French national guard officer out in full force… it was like a scene from a movie…. I mean full swat gear. Every police van lining every street… and I still felt safer than getting gas in Baton Rouge 🫣
