As well as my huge obsession with New York at the moment and my imminent visit to the big apple in March for ones birthday (and various other things), there is one other city that has captured my heart like no other and that is the beautiful city of Paris.
I had the pleasure of visiting the city last february for Premiere Vision and had a wonderful 5 days there which only served to make me fall more deeply, madly and sincerely in love with it.
The beautiful streets and alleyways, lead to treasures and the most beautiful restaurants, catch Le Tango Du Chat- 6, Rue Saint Severin if you can do its in the Latin Quarter near the Notre Dame de Paris and it has the most beautiful food and an even better waiter who will keep a party of young ladies entertained all night!
Smaller and quieter branches of American Apparel lurk in various areas around the city (also slightly cheaper) and wonderful shops filled with trinkets and accessories to melt your heart and reach for the wallets! I could have wandered down those streets all day and all night, and even though our hotel was in the ghetto, it was surrounded by an outdoor market on various days and it was within minutes to the nearest metro stop.
Another place that captured my heart whole and completely was Versailles, I am in love with the tale of Marie Antoinette, the ultimate party girl whose expensive lifestyle as the Queen of France brought upon her own downfall. If you visit Paris it is also worth a visit to Versailles which isnt far away and im pretty sure regular transport links are available into the town.
I didnt get a chance to visit the town itself, but the Palace is amazing in its own right, it is still being restored but what they are doing to it is incredible and well worth the wait when its finished.
I am planning to visit this city again this year, preferably when its a bit warmer I can sit in the palace gardens and eat cake :)
Anyway there is my love for Paris and Versailles in one small and rather picture perfect blog, feel free to comment and share your thoughts :)
