This was my first time in Paris, and I fell in love with the city immediately. Paris has been on the top of my bucket list since I could remember so I could hardly contain my excitement the moment that everything was booked! I am an OCD planner so everything from outfits to places to go was planned down to the T! It didn't kick in to me that I was actually heading to my dream destination until I was landing in Paris. I had to snap out of it! This was my reality! Everything about Paris is so beautiful and picturesque. It didn't seem real at first, I had to pinch myself. I've heard from multiple people that they didn't have a good experience as they found the French people to be rude and/or snobs. However I had a completely different experience! Everyone we encountered from our Uber drivers, to our waiters and waitresses, and even those we came across in the streets were all so friendly. Granted I had to speak French, poorly of course, however it was good to brush up on my French again. You have to think about it in their point of view, would you like it if foreigners come to your country and you have to speak "their" language? My little tip for people who plan on going to Paris, learn some basic French. You will sound funny/horrible but at least they'll get a laugh at it and trust me you'll see a change in their demeanor. Coming here made me fall in love with the language all over again! We wandered through streets, admired every building and landmark, ate croissants and had rich French hot chocolates for breakfast every morning, enjoyed my fair share of French delicacies, and captured in pictures every little thing Paris had to offer. We walked EVERYWHERE and I was not complaining whatsoever. They say pictures are worth a thousand words, but being in Paris, despite all of the pictures I captured left me speechless. Every building and structure in Paris is beautiful. Also, French pastries are top notch. I don't think I can ever have a croissant anymore now that I've taste French croissants.
Beautiful architecture. World-known landmarks. Cute little cafes in every corner. Picturesque city. Beautiful language. Friendly people. How can you not fall in love with Paris? I can't wait to go back to this magnificent city. Next time I'll bring my significant other, after all it is the city of love.
