The City of Love is undoubtedly an awe-mazing destination perfect for people whose feet are itching to travel.  There are just sooo many tourist attractions to see in Paris alone (and even more equally impressive places to visit in the suburbs), that's why I felt a little bit "bitin" with our 4-day stay in the French capital.  Hmm.. I hope, someday, we'll get the chance to stay longer in this beautiful city -- so I'll have the luxury of time to explore every corner of the Louvre Museum and Versailles, and experience the romantic ambiance of the Eiffel Tower at night.

Anyway, this is going to be my last post about our family's trip to Paris, France, so allow me to show you six more attractions that we visited during our short vacation in the city.  

The National Residence of the Invalids is a building complex which was originally built as a hospital and a hospice for war veterans.  A few years later, it was further expanded to include a Soldier's church and a Royal church, that eventually became a mausoleum for some of France's war heroes.  Finally, a Military Museum was also placed in one of the wings of the Invalides, which is considered to be one of the biggest in the world.

Hotel des Invalides is a pretty huge property, so expect to do a lot of walking when you visit the place.  Our main agenda in this attraction was to only see Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb.  However, we unfortunately got stranded here for about an hour or so, because of the heavy rain that poured over the city.  Hence, we decided to make the most out of our time by seeing the Army Museum as well.  And boy, oh boy, it was indeed a large exhibit!  The museum alone has four floors filled with military and warfare collections, so be prepared to get your leg muscles workin'!

The Conciergerie is an old prison in Paris which used to be a part of the royal palace, Palais de la Cite.  This is where the prisoners of the French Revolution, including Queen Marie-Antoinette, were detained before they were taken to the guillotine to be beheaded.  

Unlike most museums in France that's overly crowded with tourists, the Conciergerie, surprisingly, had only a few guests at the time of our visit.  Well, to be honest, this attraction can be a bit boring since it's just basically a detention cell.  It's not the typical Parisian museum that boasts a luxurious and sophisticated architecture that people would usually admire.  I guess, what you'll most likely to appreciate about this attraction would be its historical significance. Hence, if you're not a history geek, then you might have a hard time enjoying the place.  

This Romanesque church, made predominantly of white stones, is the second most visited church in France, next to Notre Dame, and considered one of the most noticeable landmarks in the City of Love, for it sits atop a hill overlooking the French capital.  

To climb 200 steps to reach the church is really no joke, especially for the elderly and for tourists with babies and strollers. It's a good thing they do have a funicular at the bottom of the Montmartre hill which could take visitors up to the Sacre Coeur with ease.  This service is actually considered part of France's metro system, so you'll only need a metro/bus ticket to use it.

That concludes our tour of the City of Lights.  I hope you liked our photos!  In my next post, I'll be taking you to the stunning capital city of Spain, which is MADRID!  Til then, my dear readers!
