Notre Aventure Française: Première Partie

It is hard to believe that our much anticipated trip to Paris and Disneyland Paris has already come and gone.  We booked the tickets when Madeline was just 4 days old.  Overall we had a wonderful 8 days in France.  We enjoyed 3 full days in the "city of love," Paris, a day in Versailles, and a day in Chartres, followed by 2 1/2 days at Disneyland Paris with our wonderful friends, the Arthur's.  Between our two families we had 4 adults and 6 children - all under the age of 5!  It was a week filled with taking in the sights, eating some yummy pastries and delicious food, playing in local parks, watching the boats in the Jardin du Luxembourg and Jardin des Tuileries, and riding on the non-stroller-friendly metro/train systems of France.  Below are a few of our pictures from the first part of the trip, Paris, Versailles, and Chartres:
