Paris Day 2: Bastille Sunday Market

We went to pick up our Paris Pass which we bought online prior the trip. We bought the 6 days pass for EUR392 for 2 people.

After picking up the pass, we went to Bastille Sunday Market. We love to explore the local market. There are lots of vendors ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to cheese, seafood, poultry, clothing, etc. It is one of the biggest markets in Paris.

Flying to Paris

Here I go again. Blogging about a vacation which took place in late May and early June 2014.  This time it’s Paris.

Our flight itinerary was YVR to Chicago (4 hours flight) and Chicago to Franckfurt (8 hours flight) and Frankfurt to CDG (1 hour and 10 minutes flight).

We had lunch at the Chicago airport during the transit.
