Bonjour gypsies, today I'm here to gush about the city of love, where you go with your loved one and indulge yourself in the high that being infatuated provides. I'd i fall in love while there? Yes, I fell in love with Paris. It's such a great thing to arrive at night and go straight to Tocadero and get feel speechless while watching the Eiffel tower dazzle and shine all night. It leaves you breathless and makes you feel so small in the world. Just as tears where going down my eyes I hit me, "I'm in one of the most beautiful moments I will have in my life". You have to take at least a week to see Paris, I had only one weekend the first time I visited while celebrating my roommate's birth day, but for some reason it was enough. We saw Notre Dame, the Locks Bridge, Basilica of the Sacré Cœur, Latin neighborhood, Versailles and the Louvre. I love art, I'm not an artist by any means... I can barely draw a smiley face, but I love renaissance art so there was a whole lot to see in the louvre for me. It's an experience on its own, it's time consuming so take at least 4-5 hours to see the master pieces. Afterwards we went to Versailles where we took the tour of the palace, rode bikes thru the gardens and had lunch by the lake. Most of these places offer discounts if your a student, but if you have a visa like we did it's free. In Paris our only real expenses we had where hostel, food and transportation. Paris during the day is way different than the ambiance it provides during the night, it's equally important to see the land marks in both times. I had the pleasure of going twice, the first time was with my roommates and the second one was with my mother. Each time was different. If you are looking to go out during the night there is a place called "Mix" located at Rue de l'Arrivée that's really good and "Duplex" that's a little bit more high end. But of you just want a drink and a nice place the talk the "Grand Rue" is the avenue for you. Paris should be on everyone's bucket list so I urge you to make and itinerary, pick a budget, grab your finest friends and go, because Paris is the closest thing we have to magic.
