So i spent an amazing weekend in Paris at the end of last month with my boyfriend. We travelled by car and ferry (of course) with my brother for a short weekend away from this mess around here. We went on the 27th and came back on the 1st, which means we only had one full day and half a day to enjoy Paris. We stayed in an apartment right in the middle of Paris called 'Milthouard Apartments' here is what the inside and outside of the apartment we stayed in looked like.
We started of Saturday morning at 8am and went over to a café near where we stayed for fresh coffee and a freshly baked croissant called 'Le Boulanger des Invalides Jocteur' and the croissants were amazing! The staff spoke just enough English so that we could order, my boyfriend tried to speak French but i think i was just too embarrassed to try.
We then walked to the Eiffel Tower, it was still quite early so the queues were small we paid around 23 Euros for both of us to go to the top and even though it was a very cold day it was so worth it. After that we got lost walking to the Arc de Triomphe and there was a lot of me moaning because of the walk i won’t hide that at all, i guess i just want to get to the place and be there.
When we finally got there we explored the shops and got a taxi to the louvre museum and it was beautiful we walked through the garden a little and decided to walk to the love lock bridge where we found it all boarded up, i guess they are going ahead with cutting all the locks off.. but that didn’t stop us putting our own lockon. We decided to walk around for a little on the other side of the bridge (got lost again), got some sushi and went back to the apartment to relax.
At around 9pm we decided to go out to see the Eiffel tower once more and then went for a meal, we had the most British/American meal we could think of... Burger and fries haha! We went back to the flat and had a quiet and relaxing night sleep.
Sunday arrived and it was leaving day, we were leaving at 4pm so again woke up early and went to Arc de Triomphe to shop a little and enjoy the scenery. We went to have breakfast at Starbucks and walked around. Four o'clock hit and we had to leave it was sad because it didn’t even feel like we had just spent a weekend in Paris, we will definitely be going again for a longer time. If i had to recommend anything is go to see Arc de Triomphe, down that road there is lots of shops for everyone o enjoy and if you haven’t got that much cash to splash go to Louvre museum because there is a gorgeous garden right across there. Make sure you enjoy the cafes in the area you're staying in the pastries are to die for.
Until later.. Goodbye my lovelies
Sincerely Ady xoxo
