Paris Is Always A Great Idea
What a difference a year makes! In August 2012, I embarked on my first of many European vacations. I traveled to Paris, France, with my daughter and her BFFs. It was so lovely of them to include me, huh?
We all mapped out our spaces and places we just had to experience. Our self-guided tours allowed us to cover the 14 different sightseeing areas during our 12-day stay. Since learning about France in elementary school and re-watching some of my favorite French movies like An American in Paris, Midnight in Paris, and Paris When It Sizzles, I was ready to explore all my eyes could behold.
Who knew that August is when everybody and their mother enjoy a European vacation or “holiday,” or at least it seemed that way? I now understand why Paris is one of the world’s most visited cities, seeing its internationally recognized monuments and museums. Journey with me as I go down memory lane–minus the masses of people waiting in long lines and how expensive. I want to relive the fabulous art at the Louvre, lunches at chic sidewalk cafes, exploring all the artistic treasures, unbelievable architecture, some exquisite retail therapy, and the pleasure of biting into a truly French-made flaky croissant every morning.
My fave, the Eiffel Tower
Paris is such a great place. How many times have you been there?
