Snapshots from Paris.

At the weekend, I took a trip to Paris to visit my mum for her birthday. While the trip itself was fairly low key - I was mainly there just to spend some time with my mum since I hadn't seen her since Christmas - we still had a good walk around and saw some sights. I'm lucky enough to have visited Paris many times since my mum has moved there, so I've done the attractions many times over. It was nice have the opportunity to see some other things other than the Eiffle tower.

I packed pretty light on my trip since I wasn't staying long, so I didn't bring my fancy-schmancy DSLR, and made do with my iPhone camera. For an iPhone 5, I'd say the following pictures came out pretty well...

The first day I joined my mum while she ran a few errands. While I was waiting for her when she was at an appointment, I had a stroll around the cemetary at Montparnasse.

On Saturday, we had a pretty chilled day as my mum had to babysit for a friend during the day. In the morning, we spent time strolling aroung the village where my mum lives.

Sunday was mum's birthday, so as I treat, I got us a ticket to go up the tower of Montparnasse, otherwise known as 'the middle finger of Paris', as it sticks out like a sore thumb along the Parisian skyline. However, once you get up to the 56th floor, the view is pretty breath-taking. Unfortunately it was pretty foggy when we went, however you could still see quite far out, which was cool.

Then we rounded of the trip with the Jardins de Luxembourg and saw the pretty fountains and the minecraft-esque trees...

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed having a peek into my trip.
