Day 2 in Paris includes wandering and taking in more moments.
Okay, so honestly, I think you start like a Parisian and hit the boulangerie or the bakery.
But we actually called an audible on the morning of day two because we wanted to go to Notre Dame Cathedral first.
and we didn't have a reserved ticket.
So it was important for us to go first thing in the morning before the lines and the queue were long.
As we got there, we noticed that there was no lines.
In fact, we were able to walk right in.
And with some people getting some extra, what's the word, clothing to bundle up, we were allowed in And we began looking at the beauty that is Notre Dame.
But now it's mostly complete and it is open.
They're still working on some of the exterior things, but the beauty is undeniable.
It's a famous cathedral, but probably not even the most beautiful one there.
Right across the street, there's another gorgeous church.
We exited out the front, walked around the back, and then we were heading over across the river, but we were stopped by a sign.
The sign appeared to say no walking because they were filming.
So we waited and then we walked and then we saw cameras, production crew, people.
And I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a flex, but that's where we are.
So we stopped and watched for a few moments.
They encouraged us not to take pictures.
Some people were snapping photos and things like that.
But one of the reasons I love walking around cities—in fact, this has happened in New York City, it's happened in Los Angeles— is sometimes you just stumble on things you never would plan to see, especially in cities like these.
So when you're traveling, leave room in your itinerary for some surprises because you never know what you're going to come across.
