Travel: Paris

After exploring London, I took the train to Paris. This is one of the highlights of my vacation. Seeing Paris has always been a dream, and finally having the chance to fulfill it made me scream with excitement. The train from London to Paris took only two hours, so it was a sweet, short ride. I know that Paris has been featured many times, but here are my favorite photos anyway. I hope everyone enjoys them.

Paris View

The River Seine

Clean and green

A view of the city


Photos one through four were all taken atop the Eiffel Tower

Notre Dame Cathedral (It was so funny because all I could think about was Quasimodo atop the bell tower.)

The Eiffel Tower through the roof of my River Seine boat cruise

Riding the tour bus through Champs Elysees

There it stood high, but finally conquered by the owner of this blog.

  2. I don't get tired seeing Paris photos, especially the tower. Did you stay in the same area at night? It must be more beautiful with lights. The place looks so clean.

  3. beautiful pictures..Paris is indeed a beautiful city...although i think it is over rated, there are a lot of beautiful cities in Europe (even prettier) and the people are much friendlier to tourists than it is in Paris sad to say ..

  7. hm, i didn't know that Paris is so flat.. looks beautiful though... i heard that the French are not very friendly though, you have to speak French even to the waiter for you to be noticed..

  8. Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures of magnifique Paris =)
    It's good you were able to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and take those great shots. I've been to Paris several times in the long distant past and I never had the patience to line up just to get to the top. hehe I believe that waiting in line was a waste of time since there are so many other places to explore while in Paris. :)

  11. Lene, Don't say that...anything is possible.

    Artemis, With my experience, they were very helpful even if I was speaking in English. When I got lost, I met a woman who patiently drew a map for me to follow. It probably depends on who you meet.

    Daphne, Climbing the tower was on my to-do list...lol...so I had to.

    Kg, I'd love to climb at night time too...baliktad tayo...lol.

    Josiet, Yes, do visit when you have the chance.
