The most memorable dinner we had in Europe was not at a high-end fine dining restaurant, it was also not along a romantic canal cruise nor on top of an overlooking restaurant but it was at quaint home-cooked restaurant called La Table de Genevieve.
French cuisine is one of the most respected and renowned cuisines in the world, after all Paris won't be named the Capital City of Food for nothing so even if French food is expensive in Paris, Mike and I saw ourselves eating at fine dining restaurants and enjoying extraordinary gastronomic experiences from day one until our final day.
'From the seat of power to a museum of the history of France'
The Palace of Versailles remains to be one of the most important landmarks in Paris. Versailles was a former French royal residence from the reign of King Louis XIV to King Louis XVI from 1682 to 1789. The royal family was forced to return to the capital after the beginning of the French Revolution. From the 19th century until today, Versailles became and still is an important museum of France.
An activity any traveller in Paris shouldn't miss is to go up the Eiffel Tower for that sweeping panoramic view of the city. It is also a bragging right when you are able to conquer your fear of heights.
The most iconic landmark in Paris. Eiffel Tower remains to be the most visited paid landmark in the world. Built by Engineer Gustave Eiffel, the wrought iron lattice tower was constructed from 1887-1889 for the 1889 World Fair. At first, Parisian didn't like it but eventually grew on loving it and now it is considered to be a global cultural icon of France.
Bonjour! As what my #lifepeg said, "Paris is always a good idea." Indeed, Audrey Hepburn was right! For more than two decades I had been day dreaming of visiting this place. I've read and watched numerous novels and movies about Paris while growing up and since then I've been enchanted about this city and vowed I'd visit it before I die. Finally, I was blessed to make that wish come true. Thanks to my husband for making it possible (Mike is indeed a keeper!) Paris was the last leg of our Europe Honeymoon, I definitely saved the best for last and allotted 5 full days in the city of lights and love with my mon amour.
