3 days in Paris is not enough, boo hoo

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum

On the last day of our stay in Paris, we had a mission! and that was to cover ALL of Paris main attractions! Even though the weather tried to hold us back but we didn't falter and know that we must walk as much as we can until mission accomplish!

Sadly we made a mistake to arrive a little bit late to the Eiffel Tower whereby there was already a loooong queue to the top, sigghhh. Not to be deterred, we tell ourselves, what the heck, this is a once in a lifetime experience thus by all means, we talked and cracked jokes until we found ourselves moving and then waiting to be brought up towards the very top of the Eiffel Tower!

Views of Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower...

Trocadero and this place has the BEST view of the Eiffel Tower. The Trocadero is the site of the Palais de Chaillot, an area of Paris in the 16th arrondissement, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The hill of the Trocadero is the hill of Chaillot, a former village.

The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris that stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the Place de l'Etoile. It is at the western end of the Champs-Elysees. The triumphal arch honors those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. On the inside and the top of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War 1.

The Musee du Louvre or officially the Grand Lourve, the Louvre Museum or Great Lourve or simply the Lourve is the national museum of France, the most visited museum in the world and a historic monument. It is a central landmark of Paris, located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (neighbourhood). Nearly 35,000 objects from the 6th century BC to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is kept here but we didn't went to see it as it would take too much time. If there was a next time then I wouldn't mind though...

The Lourve Palace is an almost rectangular structure, composed of the square Cour Carree and two wings which wrap the Cour Napoleon to the north and south. In the heart of the complex is the Lourve Pyramid, above the visitor's center. The museum is divided into three wings: the Sully Wing to the east, which contains the Cour Carree and the oldest parts of the Lourve; the Richelieu Wing to the north; and the the Denon Wing, which borders the Seine to the south.

Paris offers a bike sharing system called Velib' with more than 20,000 public bicycles distributed at 1,450 parking stations, which can be rented for short and medium distances including one way trips.

Notre Dame de Paris ('Our Lady of Paris' in French) is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France, with its main entrance to the west. It is the cathedral of the Catholicarchdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the "cathedra", or official chair, of the Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in the world. It was restored and saved from destruction by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. The name Notre Dame means "Our Lady" in French, and is frequently used in the names of Catholic church buildings in Francophone countries.
