Our final day in Paris brought us to the Seine River for a boat cruise. We saw all of the sights including the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Alexander III Bridge, the Pont Neuf, the Orsay Museum, the Louvre Museum, Les Invalides and Napoleon’s burial site. After a photo shoot in front of the Eiffel Tower and Olympic rings, we gathered one last time for a farewell dinner where we reminisced about the trip, laughed a lot and celebrated two special birthdays! It may be goodbye for now, but the memories and friendships will never end.

Day 10: The day began with a guided tour of the Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation. This memorial honors the 200,000 people deported from France to N**i concentration camps during WWII. It’s a solemn, evocative site with narrow, stone corridors, inscriptions, and symbolic architecture designed to convey a sense of confinement. We reconvened in the evening for a "Dark Side" of Paris guided walking tour
where we learned all about the lesser-known history of Paris. Our guide told us stories about the secrets of Paris’ landmarks, such as Notre Dame, The Catacombs and the mysterious characters who once roamed and terrorized Parisian streets and alleys.
