Happy Anniversary to Us

Yesterday was our anniversary and here is how we spent it:

We went to Versailles. It was amazing! Stephen snapped a good shot showing the brightness of the gold entryway gates next to the rest of the building. Golden gates were the least of the extravagance in this castle. 

Here we are in the hall of mirrors, a good example of the gaudiness in the rest of the palace.
 After a lot of walking and line standing we took a minute to relax when we got back to Paris. It was finally warm for about 10 minutes so we sat on the banks of the Seine.

This is the Sainte-Chapell cathedral where we were awestruck by this stained glass. They're doing a four year restoration project on it right now and it's just stunning all cleaned up.

Our hotel left us a treat for our anniversary along with some champagne, which we switched out for a deliciously cold bottle of water.

In the evening we went to my favorite area of Paris, Montmartre. It's outside of the city a bit and it's on a hill. At the top of the hill is this beautiful white church, the Sacre Coeur. There are great views, charming streets, artists selling paintings, and cute little restaurants in this area.

We ate at an adorable and historic restaurant called the Moulin de la Galette. It's the site of one of the very famous paintings that we saw today at the Musee d'Orsay. The food was great.

This is the outside of the restaurant with the giant moulin. It was very charming and a wonderful end to our anniversary day.
