Paris, France is one of the most magical cities that we've fallen in love with. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a girly holiday , Paris is the place to be. They call it the ‘ city of love’ for a reason. And that could mean anything. Being single in Paris is just as fabulous as being in-love in Paris.
In fact ,wondering around the beautiful city with your girlfriends is something we truly recommend. Who would appreciate a three story MAC shop and Louis Vuitton bigger than most of the shopping malls you've ever seen better than your girls? Or why not go on your own?- the city would be your company.
There is so much life and joy in the French capital, even on a rainy and miserable day. You can spot those exploring the city for the first time from miles- pointing out every little cafe with croissants and macaroons displayed on the counters and workers wearing big, chef hats with a little neck-tie attached to their white-coats.
The only difficulty with is often in knowing what to restrict yourself of seen- especially if you only have a weekend. You may have all the time in world but it would never be enough- there is so much you can do and see. Just remember, if you find yourself overwhelmed, plop down at a café, order an espresso and watch the world go by for a bit before diving into whatever else the city has in store for you. A glass of French wine always adds to the experience, so be sure to take a bottle whenever you decide to go for a stroll.
Paris may be the city of lights, but when it comes to great places to explore , you should definitely visit some of the biggest historic museums and architectures in the world- it’s not only glitz and glamour.
If you have time,you should definitely go on the top of the Eiffel Tower- the view is breathtaking. And remember to say Bonjour and Merci as much as you can- the French love it!
TOP 5 THINGS TO DO IN PARIS
1. LANDMARKS
Well,l first things to visit are the obvious once.: the Eiffel Tower (duh!). At night, the Eiffel Tower lights up too so it’s definitely a cool site to see. The Grande Arche de la Défense, which is at the business neighbourhood of La Défense, is a tourist must-see. It gives you a great view of the Arc de Triomphe in front of you, Going to the Arc de Triomphe you will be able to see and shop on the Champs-Élysées. And The Louvre of course!
2. SHOPPING
France is known as one of the most fashionable countries in the world so doing a cheeky shopping is something you should definitely do. If you are on a budget then we recommend shops like H&M and Zara. However, if you are into high-end fashion then visiting the Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Élysées is a must. Add visiting the Christian Louboutin store and the Channel store to your list
3. BIKE RIDE
What a better way to explore, have fun and keep fit at the same time than a good bike ride? You can rent a bike in Paris for 10 euro for the whole day and ride through the cute and tiny streets in Paris and discover places you've never heard of before- or why not rent a motorcycle, they are very popular over there!
4. RESTAURANT AND CAFES
You can’t go to France without munching on some macaroons. Ladurée on Champs-Élysées is the place to go for some yummy macaroons. Wine, cheese, croissants, crepes and baguettes should be on your radar since France is known for these tasty delights. Just bare in mind that the ‘ famous French breakfast’ will be gone after 11pm- so don’t waste your time having a lay in and get yourself up and ready by 9 o'clock.
5. NIGHT-LIFE
If you want to hang out at night the party place to find bars and night clubs is de la Bastille. It is the spot to be with a young crowd. However, Moulin Rouge is a place where everyone should go in their life at least once. The feeling of that spectacular and extraordinary place that leaves you with is indescribable. The building of Moulin Rouge itself looks exactly how you would imagine but the show and atmosphere inside is outstanding- and trust me it’s not as naughty as they make it out to be!
