J'adore Paris.

They say Paris is the city of love and for the first time in my life I have truly seen why - I fell in love with everything about it. For somewhere so bustling and busy it seems remarkably calm but perhaps it is just being in the presence of such beauty. Where ever you stand you are surrounded by incredible, historical buildings created with care you could just not imagine in this day and there is something unique about Paris that you could not find anywhere else.

I could have stayed forever but, just for now, I had to settle for one day - and what a day we had.



Unfortunately all of the sightseeing left little time for shopping, but I plan to go back as soon as I can gather my pennies together to take full advantage of that side of the city. We just wanted to take everything about Paris in and there was so very much to take.

We travelled in a large loop from the Notre Dame to the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower before heading back towards the Latin Quatre for dinner. Our candle-lit meal looked out towards the Notre Dame and the waitor even presented us with a rose on leaving which I thought a very fitting end to the day.

Someone take me back now, please?!

Have any of you ever been?
