Day 1

So on the first day we arrived in Paris we went straight to the hotel we'd be spending the next few nights and got adjusted apart from that it was a quite night so from this point onwards I am going to refer to day 2 as day 1, and day 2 as 3 and so.
So on the first day we visited the Louvre, host of the famous Mona Lisa, we spent a good few hours drawing and admiring beautiful masterpieces such as  Aphrodite, known as the "Venus de Milo", Horses restrained by grooms, known as The Marly Horses and countless others.
Whilst at the Louvre I entered rooms filled with the most beautiful sculptures I had ever seen and spent the majority of my time at the Louvre in these two rooms









On the way back form the Louvre we passed a bridge absolutely covered in "love locks" which are basically a padlock attached to the bridge railing to symbolize the couples love, the couples names are inscribed on the padlock and the key is thrown away to symbolise the breaking love. This was perfect for me because my given topic was "key", I snapped as many photos as I could of the locks but, unfortunately getting a photo of the hidden treasure, a literal river of keys, below me would be near impossible, even though I couldn't get a shot of the keys the river itself was still incredibly beautiful.




Photos of the river of keys, unfortunately the endless amount of keys are completely invisible
