Bonjour! One of the happiest sounding words that brings a smile to my face every time i am greeted with it!
Paris! The captial of France and home to some of the most well known monuments and pieces of art in the world! Of course, many of you Disney fans will know that Paris is also widely known for Disneyland Paris too! But when i'm not running round with excitement with my favourite Disney stars, you can find exploring the hidden treasures of Paris.
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous monuments in all of Paris. The Eiffel Tower is a global cultural icon of France and is one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The tower has three levels which you can visit. There are two floors of restuarants and the top floor is a viewing platform to get some of the best views of Paris!
It is such an impressive monument surrounded by excited tourists. I, of course, was one of them! Joining in with my selfie stick and posing for some creative shots with the tower! - Another photo to my collection!
The Arc de Triomphe is another very famous monument in Paris and is home to the Tomb of the Unknown Solider. The Arc de Triomphe stands in the centre of one of the busiest, and probably most scary, roundabouts in Paris. Drive like the Parisians do!... Or shut your eyes and hope for the best! Eek!
The Louvre is one of the worlds largest museums. You may recognise it as it is a well known central landmark of Paris.
The Louvre is also home to the famous painting the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci! You may need to be patient due to the very long queues, but it is worth the wait!
Champs Elyees is the main street in Paris. Here you can find everything you need as the Champs Elyees is famous for its theatres, cafes and luxury shops. It is a very long street, so you may need to take some extra pennies to treat yourself! - You are in Paris after all!
The River Siene runs through the centre of Paris. You have the option to relax by the side of the river, or join one of the many cruises to see Paris from the water!
The Montparnasse is a 200 metre high tower which gives you the best panoramic views of Paris. Here you have the best views of the Eiffel Tower too! Venture onto the 59th floor rooftop terrace with a glass of champagne for a truly magical evening!
The Latin Quarter is an area in Paris known for its student life, lively astmosphere and restaurants!
There are 1000's of restaurants here, i was spoilt for choice! From Coissants and Crepes to Frogs Legs and Snails, you are sure to find something for everyone!
You can dine expensively or cheaply too! I managed to find an amazing restuarant and had an incredible 3 course meal for only 12 euros! Bargain!
Versailles is an incredibly pretty area to visit. Versailles is a city on the edge of the capital city Paris. With the beautiful town and market to take in the local culture to the grand Palace and gardens to explore.
Versailles Palace is a beautiful building which stands proudly infront of the palace gardens. You can explore inside the palace at a cost, but do be prepared for a long queue. You can be waiting up to an hour to enter the palace.
However the palace gardens are free and open to the public. The gardens cover a vast amount of space featuring different sections to explore. There is a woodland area, flower beds, fountains and the canal.
The gardens are enjoyed my locals and tourists daily. You can easily relax here all day!
I visited the incredible market in Versailles. I was spoilt for choice with fresh fruit, vegtables, meats, cheeses and breads! This was the busiest part of the town by far! It was easy to see how much the locals enjoy their fresh food!
I love crepes and coissants! Throughout France there are many yummy cake shops with a range of pastries! - I was in heaven!
There is always every flavour available in Macarons if you fancy a little treat too!
