Hello there...or should I say Bonjour!
I thought I'd share a few of the pictures from my weekend in Paris. It was one of the best couple of days I've had in a long time, so worth the 12 hour coach journey both ways. The weather on the Saturday was glorious and it really added to the Paris experience.
The Friday was spent mostly travelling, but we had a couple of hours that night to go and get something to eat around Paris. Unfortunately I was ill from all the travelling so I couldn't enjoy the food, but my friends all said it was fabulous.
Saturday was our full day, and we spent the morning in Versailles looking at the palace and the gardens, which were beautiful, especially in the sunshine.
After Versailles, we had the joys of the most mental tour guide taking us on a coach tour of Paris, she was absolutely brilliant.
We were then given about 3 and a half hours to wander around Pairs, to get something to eat and just explore. Me and a few of my friends found the Lovelock bridge and bought padlock to put our names on and add to the hundreds of thousands already there. After, we sauntered along the Seine looking in all the little souvenir shops and eventually finding a brass band on a bank of the river, where we sat amongst the locals watching the moonlight on the river and the spotlight of the Eiffel Tower, and I'm not going to lie, there were tears in my eyes it was so beautiful.
Our last morning was spent in the Louvre and on the Metro, which was a great experience. We saw the Mona Lisa which was amazing, some fabulous french fashion and we were treated to accordion and saxaphone players on the Metro. Then began the horribly long drive to Calais to get the ferry back to Dover. The ferry had a duty free type shop, so I made an exceptionally cheeky purchase and finally got my hands on Daisy by Marc Jacobs!
I hope you enjoyed this, let me know what you think in the comments, and what your favourite thing about Paris is if you've ever been!
Thank you
