Haven't blogged in a while due to having such a busy month so I am now making up for it. Il do a separate fashion blog about Pairs soon.
I finally got to go to Paris and it was AMAZING everything I expected. I went for my 20th Birthday from the 1st -5th November.
I would go back right now if I could it is such a stylish place all the buildings are beautiful and there is so much to do! However, everything is very spread out so there is allot of walking so if you want a city where everything is all in one place Paris is not for you!
Wine & Dine?
Food and drinks day to day even if its just buying a coffee or going out for a meal is all very expansive so I would advise saving up and going with a fair bit of cash so you can experience it all to its best. Of all the restaurants I've ever been to (and thats allot!) Au Bougnat just next to the Notre Dame is the best one EVER their food was incredible, and their service was amazing it was a really warm, cosy and romantic atmosphere definitely worth the money for a lovely evening. I had the steak of course! and it was just the best thing I have ever eaten.
Au Bougnat, 26 Rue Chanoinesse, Paris
Where to stay?
We stayed in an a apartment opposite the Notre Dame which was beautiful however when we go again we plan to stay closer to the Champs Elysees and Eiffel tower as the Notre Dame is a good 30mins walk away from the Eiffel tower. So I would 100% recommend staying near to the Champs Elysees its a good place to start from and plus you'll be on one of the most famous shopping strips in the world!
What to do?
The Louvre was my favourite place, to walk around it all its 9 MILES! but worth it you would need the whole day to see it all, luckily at the bottom there is a Starbucks and an Apple store! so really you don't need to leave at all! On a sunday the Louvre is free to go in too but any other time you have to pay, students do get a discount.
Eiffel tower, this was even bigger than I expected and yes, despite being petrified we did go all the way to the top, super scary but super worth it, you have to que for a while but can spend as long as you like on each floor, the top is really really windy so it was a quick few pictures for me then I came back down! and if you're under 24 its only about 14 euros each.
The Champs Elysees is beautiful, world renowned shopping strip full of everything from Louis Vuitton Flagship to a Mercedes dealership a few doors down it is AMAZING every designer name you could think of and also high street brands, Zara, H&M, Sephora, MAC cosmetics etc. so anyone can shop regardless of budget! Definitely a place to have a wonder even if you don't plan on shopping.
I could write forever about the things to do and see there but it is simply something every girl had to experience, I will do a fashion and beauty blog about what I bought in Paris and a few more things Ive picked up this month.
Happy Traveling
