city and out of the train car, I was shocked. Everything was so beautiful and very exquisite looking. It was all so fancy. The buildings were designed beautifully. There were no skyscrapers in sight which was really nice. We then made our way to the Louvre, where we were told to get lunch and then meet up back here.
