We traveled to Paris on the eurostar to watch the All Blacks play France. As the game didn't kick off until 9pm we had some time to sight see. We started at the catacombs, which is an underground ossuary holding the remains of roughly 6 million people. I was totally fascinated by all the bones and loved every minute of the visit.
The remainder of the day was spent lunching (had the yummiest croque monsieur), stopping off for a quick drink at an Aussie pub (it was not our intention to have a drink but when we saw that pub we thought it would be rude not to), having a few pre game drinks in our hotel room before leaving for the game (detour via the eiffel tower so we could photos of lit up at night). 
The rugby game itself was pretty ho hum. Not the best game of rugby; but we did have amazing seats and the stadium looked like a UFO.
We started Sunday off with a leisurely French breakfast (coffee and croissant) before taking the metro to Notre Dame. After the regulation jump shot we walked along the seine to the eiffel tower, stopping off to buy some authentic art works from river side artists. After more regulation jump shots at the tower we then walked to the arc de triomphe to see the crazy round-a-bout. We fitted in a cheeky beer at an Irish bar before boarding the train back to London. Au revoir Paris.
