It’s been well over a week since I jetted off to Paris and I still haven’t shared my trip with you. I took so many photos that it was hard to choose just a select few to put on my blog and show you all, I couldn’t even choose which ones to share on Facebook!
We arrived in Paris just after 9am on Friday morning so we had plenty of time to explore the city. The first place we went was Breakfast in America which is an American Diner that I visited last year. We had a spot of brunch to fuel us for the rest of the day and then off we went. We chose to go up the Arc de Triomphe as it’s one of the things I didn’t get to do last year. I’d also heard that the views are incredible and I was definitely not disappointed. It didn’t take us long to queue and we got in for free when we showed our EU passports and proved that we are under 25, many places over the city offer this. There were 284 steps up a spiral staircase to get up to the top but it was definitely worth it. The Arc de Triomphe offers a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and of course the Champs Elysees which we walked down afterwards.
After a walk down Champs Elysees and a browse of some of the shops, we then walked along the River Seine and came across one of the two love lock bridges, Pont Des Arts and also a newlywed couple who were having their photos taken on one of the bridges – how romantic!
We then headed back to the hostel we were staying at to get checked in before having some food at a lovely little French bistro opposite Gard du Nord station, called Paris Nord Cafe. I had an open sandwich with ham, emmental and goats cheese which was amazing! There’s nothing like proper French food.
In travel
I went to Paris as a child to go to Disney Land but I don’t remember much of the city, wish I could go back x
Ahhh, love Paris. I went in March and had an amazing time, I think St Germaine and Pont des Arts were my favourite bits. My feet needed their own holiday by the time we left though!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your photos.

Lovely pictures, I visited Paris recently and love how lots of places let you in free! Saved us a ton of money in being tourists 🙂 xx
It truly is a beautiful city, we enjoyed our 2 day trip there last year!

It is a lovely city and yes, I do agree with your comment regarding food – French seems to tick all the boxes.
I love the love locks idea, it is so cute x

I love your pics! I was in Paris for a whole month last year working and didn’t even get the chance to do the lock thing. For some of time, I stayed at Gard du Nord too. It’s lively there! You’re so right about french food though. It’s amazing!
These pics are gorgeous. Looks like you are having an amazing time x
The photos you’ve chosen to put up are fab. That bride is so gorgeous. I didn’t think I’d ever like a coloured wedding dress but hers reminds me of Belle (how fitting in France!)
I’ve never been to France, let alone Paris but I’m so desperate to go one day! X
