After the delay in Stuttgart we arrived in Paris and found our hostel with no problems. It was in an interesting area and had a different look to it, but we got a private room for a very low price so it was all good.
When we woke up the first day the weather did not look to good so we decided it would be the best day to go to the Mondail Du L`Automobile (Paris Auto Show). The show was huge. It had a similar set up to the one in Toronto, however there were considerably more brands with larger booths. Highlights of the show where seeing cars that had just been released, rare concepts and all the exotic brands booths. The Chinese had some cars there as well and needless to say its a good thing they cannot be sold in North America.
The next day we decided to start the tourist activities out right by climbing the Eiffel Tower. It was a little chilly at the top, but still gave us a great view of the city.
After the tower we walked over to the Champs-Élysées and figured it would be a good time to get a quality french meal on the Champs out of the way. It was delicious. Later that afternoon we had to switch hostels because we where unable to book a single hostel for the entire stay in Paris. As it turned out this was a good thing. The second hostel was located in a much more typically Parisian Neighbourhood. There where Bakeries and Pasty shops all over and many cafès as well. In addition, the guy from Washington that worked the front desk put us in a private room for the same price as the 6 person we booked. Sweet. Plus there was a TV in the room so we could watch the economy nose dive live.
Thursday we took the "free" walking tour of Paris (the guides get paid tips) during the day and did a pub crawl run by the same company at night. If you are wondering this is actually the same company we did the walking to with in Berlin, they are all over Europe. I foresee the next one happening in Madrid.
Friday we did some laundry and made sure to have another delicious sandwich from our local bakery. In the evening we visited the Notre Dame Cathedral where mass was going on while we where there. This was a pretty cool experience considering we got to hear the choir, organ and ceremony all for free. 
That night we went to the Louvre and saw among other famous paintings the Mona Lisa.

To close off Paris we walked the Champs-Élysées for the last time and got some good night shots of Paris. All in all definitely a favourite city so far on the trip.
The next day we hopped on the high speed TGV to Nice for some relaxation on the French Riviera.
