It's fair to say that we enjoy visiting Paris and we have done so at least once a year since 2005, our first visit to the beautiful city.
Samantha's mother, Jean, was visiting from Australia and we thought, well, she might enjoy Paris, let's book a trip over with our travel partner, EasyJet and off we went.

The weather was rainy of the first day and as we were staying near Canal St. Martin, in an apartment - sorta living like locals, maybe-ish, we just mosied around the area initially.
Canal St. Martin is quite a nice area so that was all good.
The next day, our first full day of this trip in Paris, and we had a good look around. Starting with a metro to Montmartre, or at least the station behind Sacre Couer, we then walked up the hill to the amazing Sacre Couer.
This is a fabulous church at one of, if not the highest spot in Paris. The views across Paris are amazing and even with the usual amount of Parisian smog, it's always a cool sight.
Following our time at Sacre Couer we had a decent wander around Montmartre, always a decent walk and then headed across town to the ever-beautiful Musee Rodin.
This is my favourite museum in Paris for three reasons - it's very stylish, with the chateau styled building that Auguste Rodin lived and worked, Rodin's sculptures are absolutely magnificent and finally, it's just a really relaxing place to have a look at great art and a sit down.
We then wandered over to Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb, which is housed in the Invalides - amazing that a small man has such a massive tomb, but there you go. 
The Musee D'Orsay was the next museum to visit after walking down the grand Seine and this museum was formerly a railway station - and what a brilliant building - absolutely spectacular.
The art in this museum is also equally spectacular with works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Latrec, Monet - to name a few. It's a brilliant museum, no doubt.
I don't think we need to highlight every minute of every day, however, we visited loads of sights in Paris and we all had a great time.
