We rolled our anniversary, Christmas and birthdays into one trip this year. Paris is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. I was slammed with work up until we left so I didn’t do much planning at all and didn’t have any expectations. I was surprised to find myself falling a little in love with Paris! There are very few big cities I could see myself living in but Paris is right at the top of my list. I loved so many things about it from the variety of arrondissements to the bakeries on every corner with the BEST pain au chocolats, pastries, and baguettes. The subway system is SO easy to navigate. The french food was delicious. And so many museums full of art! The variety of beautiful colorful doors. The beautiful historical architecture. The friendly french people we met. The cobblestone streets. There wasn’t much, aside from the very chilly weather, that I didn’t like. Five days was definitely not enough time to explore it all and we are already making our list for the next time we get to visit Paris.
