My first moment in Paris was so special but admittedly uber touristy. I popped up out of the metro right on the Seine across from Notre Dame. THAT was my first impression of Paris (ok and since I was alone at 7am maybe I did a little dance right there)! Who could ask for a better memory? Throughout the trip, this lovely river was our pathway around the city.
