Visit the outstanding architecture and home to Phantom of the Opera - Palais Garnier
Explore the bridges, with beautiful views a popular destination for wedding photos ( I saw 4 beautiful brides within 10 minutes.)  Also feel like Adele in Someone Like You, as this is the bridge she filmed her video clip. 


Galeries Lafayette - in my opinion one of the most stunning department stores. Not only the perfect place to be updated with the latest fashion trends and window shopping, but even better architecture. The best part is the jaw dropping view from the top floor, true love at first sight.



Lock your love to Paris and throw the key away at love lock bridge. Unfortunately during my love affair with Paris locks were being cut off Pont des Arts as the bridge was starting to collapse. (I told you Paris would break your heart) There is a second bridge with locks Pont de l’Archevêché, but be careful as this was used for 'lovers' not true love.

Create a food baby with Paris. From the amazing fresh smell of baguettes and croissants in the morning. Classic ratatouille. To melt in your mouth macaroons and Crème brûlée. Lets not forget delicious local wine.

I defiantly recommend enjoying a picnic on Seine river. Also treat yourself and eat like a true Parisian and enjoy a 3 or if your hungry a 5 course meal at a local restaurant.

Sadly I wasn't Parisian enough to try escrgot (snails) or cuisses de grenouille (frogs legs) but if your adventurous enough and do let me know!


 The royal gardens certainly lived up to their expectations! Beautiful architecture and areas to relax or even have a picnic. For those photographers, you will be in heaven with lots to snap. 


Have a date with the Eiffel Tower day or night, it defiantly proves to be Paris' most iconic love affair. Little did I know as I got a surprise that at night every hour the tower sparkles as you hear the crowd "ahhhh" enlightening every ones mood. Take a bottle of champagne and enjoy the magical moment. I even went on a second date going further this time and climbing up the master piece. The moment you climb the stairs to the first floor, you feel as if you’ve embarked on a fantastical journey. What a way to end it, when you reach the top in the lift. With mesmerising views and a must tick off your bucket list. 

The Egyptian gift to Paris (Obélisque de Louxor) also known as Cleopatra's Needle. Gifted in 1829, the edifice, which once marked the entrance to the Amon temple at Luxor, is more than 3,300 years old and is decorated with hieroglyphics. 

Pretend you are starring in Devil  Wears Prada and throw your phone in this stunning fountain! Pictures don't do this detailed piece of art justice so is a must see. 



Champs-Élysées is the French name for the Elysian Fields, the paradise for dead heroes, in Greek mythology. The French proudly call their world-famous boulevard "la plus belle avenue du monde" meaning the world's most beautiful avenue. It's the perfect way to people watch and experience the true Parisian life window shopping (I wish I could actually shop.) Stopping to follow amazing scents leading to food. When strolling down the street I couldn't help but sing in my head Parlez Vous Francais - Art Vs Science. Falling deeper in love with the streets and people of Paris.







The Louvre the biggest museum in the world. if you ever have 100 days spare, you could probably squeeze in every piece of art, but you could only spend 30 seconds on each piece. Home to Leonardo de Vinci's Mona Lisa is undoubtedly the most famous piece. With people from all walks of life travelling here to catch a glimpse of the world famous painting. What you may not know about the Mona Lisa is that it isn’t as big as everyone thinks, and is only 53 x 77cms. The Mona Lisa also has its own bodyguards and is protected by bulletproof glass.
Notre Dame de Paris is entirely free of charge. The large medieval Catholic cathedral, often said to be the finest example of French Gothic architecture, and is one of Paris' top attractions. With all the amazing buildings its hard to pick a favourite. 




Take a walk on the wild side! Find out Paris's darkest secrets. Visit Moulin Rouge (sadly being a broke student traveller, I didn't catch my dream and get to watch the show full of boobs and dazzling costumes.) Only one more reason to come back !! Instead grab your cliché tourist pic outside and wander the streets of the red light district Paris. With outrageous sex shops all lined up, I had to visit one to say I'd really experienced France.  

Butte Charmont shows views over Paris from an angle that few visitors get to see. The hike up the park is, unsurprisingly, very steep – it is called a butte, which is French for hill, but the reward outweighs the effort and is the perfect place to sit in the park enjoy the view.


St Christophers Inn is a great affordable place to stay, with modern pod beds to ensure a good nights sleep, as well as a restaurant and bar down stairs all on the water front! Couldn't get much better than this...I keep falling deeper and deeper in love with Paris. 

Au Revoir for now!
