Trocadero

This plaza is directly across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. It also features in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir quite often. We started watching the TV show the evening after our tour of Paris, and were very excited to recognize this plaza as one of the main locations in the show (first season).

You can see our little “Madeleine” with my parents in this shot.

Side note: brightly coloured coats for kids is a great idea right now, because practically no kids are wearing them – they’re all in dark colours. Makes it SUPER easy to quickly spot your child. We have a yellow rain coat, an orange winter coat, and a blue winter coat for the kids. Definitely going to stick to this trend for the foreseeable future.

Cool shot

One of my favourite views from the cruise on the Seine was at the end of the tour. There is a miniature version of the Statue of Liberty, and the tour boat did a 720 degree turn so that we could see it with the Eiffel Tower in the background. It was stunningly beautiful at night.

Apologies for the blurriness. I guess you’ll just have to go and see it for yourselves! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Our introduction to Paris

The first evening we were in Paris, we had a cruise on the River Seine planned. While waiting in line, it started to rain unexpectedly.

We brought rain gear with us every day after that.
