Paris Day One



We finally arrived in Paris and headed by RER to our hotel. We got muddled with stops (when I say we, I mean me) so ended up getting off at the bottom of Montmartre and walking from there. It was a long walk and very hot especially with our suitcases but we got to see The Moulin Rouge and the area surrounding the famous Sacre Coeur
We managed to find our hotel for the next four nights which was down a quiet backstreet but not far from the main road with lots of shops and places to buy food. Once arriving at our hotel and settling into our room we relaxed for a bit before venturing out to find somewhere to buy drinks and food for breakfast and perhaps a little something for dinner. It was quite late by this stage so we decided upon pizza to take back to the hotel room. We found a tiny corner shop (that wasn't on a corner) to buy some bits for breakfast and for snacks to take out during the day and then headed across the road to a pizza delivery place we had seen on the walk down the main street. We got a family size pizza and my god I have never seen a pizza that size before! 
Pizza in hand we found our way back to the hotel, sneaking past reception with our mammoth sized dinner. We headed upstairs to watch some French TV we barely understood, eat a pizza that would of comfortably fed a family of ten and get an early night.
