Started our day visiting the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens - sculptures, fountains and overall an amazing spot to have a picnic if the weather allows it! Very close to the gardens is the Panthéon, even though we didn't get inside, the building itself is very impressive, so worth the visit! After that, we headed to Cathédrale Notre-Dame. Although it is currently closed to the public, it is something you don't want to miss, truly stunning! Passing Sainte-Chapelle, we ended up at the Louvre museum, one of the best museums in the world! Would highly recommend the guided visit to the museum.
