My favorite places to visit in Paris

Bonjour! Ca va?

I am glad you stumbled upon my first blog of my journey in Paris. This little cosy corner is where I share Paris through my own eye len – from worth-visiting Parisian places, experiences to try and not only that but also share the regular slow-living, simple pleasures of life in a city that never seems to lose its charm.

Living a few months here so far, I have been amazed by this vibrant and happening big city. There is an air of energy and happiness and everyone just seems to enjoy their lives in the most romantic ways. The French culture, from what I have sensed so far, is more towards the relaxed and enjoy your life type culture, where everyone takes their time to let their enjoyment sink in. Cafés full of people just relaxing for hours, people sitting peacefully in open spaces like public stairs, the benches on road sides or in local gardens. Out-doorsy life is a major lifestyle here. Here, spending time doing very little can feel like a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Ironically, Paris captures both sides of life simultaneously. There is hustle and bustle, the glittering shopfronts, the grand architecture and the glitz and glamour of the touristy areas.

Perhaps, that is what i find most beautiful about this city, that it manages to hold both lifestyles at once. The quite unhurriedness of locals and the flamboyant energy of tourists.

So, on my blog, you will experience both the sides, touristy Paris as well as the not-so ordinary daily moments that are still very worth living.

Lets start with the mainstream so here is a list of my favourite places that are actually very worth all the hype that they get.

1- Eiffel Tower

• well of course! Believe me it is stunning and especially when it glitters at night, she is beautiful!

2- Louvre Museum

• largest museum in the world is not to be missed, the night time view of the Pyramids and the art galleries inside are worth the long walks

3- Sacre Coeur

• a little escape from the hustle of the city, get a panoramic view of Paris, watch a stunning sunset, feel the crisp air and admire the architecture of the church there

4- Cruise at River Seine

• if you dont have time for going individually to the famous monuments then hop on this cruise to get a floating tour of all of famous Parisian places

5- Arc de Triomphe

• the carvings and the architecture is worth watching up front

6- Champs Elysée

• high-end brands street, one of the places to see if you love shopping from luxury brands

7- Disneyland Paris

• ohh this is really a great one! Plan your trip accordingly because why not?!

8- Notre Dame

• worth visiting gothic architecture, look up front and you will be amazed

9- Galerie Lafayette

• it is super stunning from the inside, a huge range of perfumes, bags, makeup, shoes – a must watch if you are a tourist

• one of the many gardens i visited first – ample place to sit and relax with a not-to-miss Eiffel Tower view!

Paris is a worth visiting city. If you do visit, you will for sure make unforgettable memories. If you are planning on visiting Paris, I hope through my blog you find places that deserve a spot on your itinerary list and the little discoveries that make living here feel special.
