A Day in Paris


Aerial view of France at night
Bonjour! Paris, the City of Love. Located in the north of France, Europe, the city is capital and largest in the country. Whether it's the magnificent Eiffel Tower or famous Mona Lisa (painting), Paris keeps it all in its bucket. So as a day tourist, what is all we can do? Lets find out!

Mona Lisa

Morning: Café de Flore is one of the oldest and prestigious coffeehouses in Paris. Known for its rich flavoured Espresso, the cafe also has a lot of French delicacies that you can eat in the morning. They're a bit pricey just to give an idea about the cost. What to do now? Check out The Louvre, one of the renowned museums and home to Mona Lisa among many others.

Afternoon: The best afternoon to spend will be on top of Eiffel Tower while having a panoramic view of the city and it's architecture. Symbolizing love, Eiffel tower was opened to public in 1989. Once you buy the ticket, you can use the lift to get to the first and second floor. The highest floor has a separate lift that you can use to have a better view of the city. 

Later, spend time shopping in one of the fashion capitals of Europe. Le Bon Marché on the 7th arrondissement isn't far enough from Eiffel. The department store has got some really high end places to shop that you can fancy.

Evening: Time for a show! Paradis Latin Cabaret is a famous theatre and known for its shows. The show includes some circus acts like trapeze, magic, hoopers and some dances. Please note that this show is uncensored which involves nudity so parental guidance is highly advised. 

Night: Time to stay awake! Head to Eiffel Tower again and make sure you're there 10 minutes to midnight. At 12, Eiffel shimmers and sparkles for five minutes which is a spectacular opportunity to end your night with. Once done, you're free to go home and sleep or to enjoy the extravagant night life that Paris offers..

  1. Paris is on my list of places I'd like to visit.. but I don't know that I'd be able to stay too long before being tempted to go the Nice, France. Nice is like #1 on my "if I could live anywhere else" list.
