2 Days in Paris - Day 2

After a French breakfast buffet, it went to the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral. It was worth a visit. This church is filled with art, history, and religion. It's free of charge, except for the bell tower.  I recommend coming on a Sunday morning before it gets crowded.

On this day, it was sunny and I had the chance to see the beautiful and magnificent stained glass windows in there.

An hour later, it went to the famous Eiffel Tower of Paris. If you come early, you don't have to wait in line for long or you don't even have to wait at all, depending on which floor you would like to go. 

 

 

This is the amazing view that you could get from the first floor.

After the tower, it went for a quick walk through the Parc du Champ de Mars next to the Eiffel Tower. It was time for a outfit shot. Once again, I wore something comfortable along with my flats. :) I decided to wear something bright and paired a blue & white striped shirt with a pink coat. If you like this outfit you can get these items or similar ones at the end of my post.


Then, the highlight of the day for me was the Musee du Louvre. It was the last stop of the trip before it went back home. I loved this museum so much. Me as an art lover and artist myself, I could have stayed there for hours or even days. There was not enough time to see everything, due to the departure, but I could see at least most of the famous paintings including Mona Lisa. I wish i could have stayed there longer though. This museum is definitely a must visit.

Overall, Paris is a very beautiful city with lots of art, history, and architecture. There is such so much to see. Hopefully I can come back again.

2 Days in Paris - Day 1

And it went to Paris. I've been to France several times for shopping clothes or French groceries, but I've never visited Paris though. 

When I arrived in Paris, my first stop was the Trocadero, a place where you can get a stunning view to the Eiffel Tower. I was already amazed by seeing this monument from there. On the second day of my trip I was actually able to see it closer, but i will post more about this beautiful tower in my next post.


Next I went to the Arc of the Triomphe. You can reach this huge arch by going through the underpass. I do NOT recommend crossing the roundabout to reach it. The traffic over there is horrendous. You have a high chance to get hit by these crazy drivers. If you are interested in shopping afterwards or before, there is the Avenue des Champs-Élysées not far away from this monument.  You can find department stores, pastry shops, restaurants, or even car showrooms there.

My trip consisted of a lot of walking and sightseeing, so I decided to wear something comfy. I wore a fuchsia colored sweatshirt from Pull&Bear, some black H&M leggings, and black flats from Primark. If you like this outfit you can get these items at the end of my post.

After the Arc of the Triomphe I had the chance to visit the Galeries Lafayette department store. I loved the inside of the facility especially the rooftop that has a gorgeous centerpiece dome of stained glass - really pretty! I also visited the Galeries Lafayette Gourmet next to the department store where you can find delicious fresh food and pastries.

Then it was time for check-in into the Hotel Mercure Paris Ivry Quai de Seine. After a small break from all the walking, I started to get hungry and I went to the restaurant Les Fontaines Saint Honoré to experience a three course dinner. It really was sooo delicious. As a starter, I had french onion soup. My main course consisted of duck and fried potato slices, and for dessert we had some yummy crème brùlée.

Leaving the restaurant with a filled stomach, I went on a cruise along the Seine river to view the illuminated monuments of Paris. It turned out to be very disappointing. Tourists literately ran back and forth to take pictures and selfies on the cruise and blocked every view. I wasn't able to enjoy the scenery. I would recommend taking a cruise where nobody runs around and you can sit in peace. :D I love cruises, but this was by far the worst.

Anyways, bad things aside, except the horrible cruise, I liked everything about Paris. I really loved the three course dinner at the restaurant and I would love to repeat this experience. Overall, I enjoyed it. My first day of the trip has ended and I was ready for the second day of the trip.
