Day 1

Other than providing direct flight from SFO-CDG airports, Air France's service is really so so. For example, giving away kids' toys with small pieces was definitely a bad idea. Flight attendants were unresponsive, which wasn't really surprising. We're too excited about Paris anyway so such small things didn't affect our moods much.

When we arrived at CDG, we took a taxi to the apartment we rented, 10 Rue Simon Le Franc. Like any other big cities, Paris has traffic jam all over. Thanks to the drivers' clever manuvuering between small streets and alleys, the ride didn't take too long and costed us <50 euro, as expected.

After settling down in the apartment, it's time to visit our first stop of the many landmarks in Paris: Notre Dame, arguably the most famous catherdral in the world, thanks to Victor Hugo's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" (or Disney's rendition of it?)

Notre Dame 
Dinner for the night: budget 3 course meals at Maison Blanche, a tourisy restaurant nearby Notre Dame. Although it's just 8pm by the time we finished dinner, we were so tired due to jet lag so we took a relaxing stroll across Seine to the apartment and called it a night.
