Suuuuper quick but fun day trip to Paris

The beginning of the trip, the coach ride is very rushed. Some sights we saw from the coach but they were blocks away and we only had a tiny window to see them. But our guide was amazing! Anna was such a great guide. Very knowledgeable, personable, and fun.
