We arrived pretty early on our first day of our honeymoon in Paris. Around 8:00 am all the locals were still sleeping and several cafes were just starting to open for business! Our hotel was located in the St. Germain des Pres District and there was a lot to see in the area.

Our first stop was the Notre Dame Cathedral:

The weather was pretty cool and sunny, as you can see the crowd really started to build up around noon!

We arrived so early that we couldn’t check in!  I left my luggage at the hotel desk and Mr. Bell Pepper just couldn’t trust the staff with his own luggage!  He wheeled it throughout the cathedral and all along the Seine River. 

Some photos of the interior of the cathedral:

Candles inside the cathedral..

Looking up at the beautiful stained glass windows.

We went back outside and discovered a newly married couple taking wedding photos!

Here’s a typical breakfast you’ll find at any cafe in France.

Local street vendors selling souvenirs, paintings, and antiques.

There were so many cute bistros and cafes near our hotel! I love this photo of Le Navigator.

As we were crossing the Seine River, we noticed rush hour and a flood of tourists riding a tour boat under the bridge.

Roses across from our hotel…

After visiting the cathedral, we spent most of the first day walking around the streets surrounding our hotel and catching up on some sleep. I’ll feature more details about our honeymoon soon - the next destination is the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower!
