Classic Paris sightseeing from the river and more

June 8, 2012 By grandslamgal

View some pics of beautiful Paris, as seen from a cruise on the river and when walking around the city.

While you’re in Paris for the French Open, there are some other things to see that are as awesome as the tennis!

We did a boat cruise on the river that took an hour and cost 12 Euros. It was nice to sit down for a while at the end of the day and enjoy the sunshine and the view.

    It was worth getting up early to get those shots of the Louvre before the crowds arrived. The blue sky was a bonus.
