Chic Paris

During the weekend of my visit back to London, my cousin and I brought our parents to Paris.

The 1st impression when I say Paris, people would think of fashion, style, high quality, high end, classy life. Yup, indeed you find all these in Paris !! Even their train station smells like you went in


But, maybe its true that grass is always greener on the other side...
After 2 years in London, I find Paris "cOOler". Perhaps london and alot of european cities share the same high end life. Is Paris overated? You have got to find out.

I havent got the time to visit all around Paris, especially its famous Disneyland (NOOoooo..... not when you are with parents.. omg) 2 days 1 night is really a short trip.


A little side track...
I realised that airlines are really safe! They made all the little precautions even in the budget airline industry.
So dont worry, when you accidently again, light up your cigeratte in the lavatory, there is always a safety measure! Hahaha
 
 
But....
 
There you go.


There are alot of fashion outlets and brand in Paris that you dont really find it elsewhere. Good news right?!
Walking on the streets of Paris makes you feel like a jacoon. People are just so trendy.
 


 

 
They have poster promoting parties.


We stayed in a 2 star hotel for 110 euros per night, near Champs-Élysées, one of the world most famous avenues.



Straight after lunch, we went to visit the Eiffel towel. However we didnt went up : (  due to some limitations...
The view from bottom..
 
 
Beautiful piece of architechure.

Then we went on to cruise along the river Seine
The boat cost 8 euros for students, unlimited ride within that day. It brings you along the "much cleaner than Thames" river to all the wonderful sites.

 
  
Omgwtf.. There were alot of guys people sunbathing almost naked on the bank.


The 1st stop was Notre Dame de Paris
  
  
Its a cathedral with lots of sculpture. Entrance free!
 
Thats how it looks inside.. although it says no photo taking, I was blinded by flashes once i stepped in.

 
  
 


Then we skipped a few of stops, until we reach Louvre!

 
  
 
Fatique is an issue if you try to walk with your parents you know. So we didnt went in the museum either.


No we didnt went in!


Came across this cafe, I wonder how would you pronounce it.
 
We ended our day early because everyone was lack of sleep. They even fell asleep on the cruise on river Seine!
The time was 6pm. No night activities. sigh...... 


The next day, we went to visit a french market. I find it similar to those you find in London. But I have to say, the French know at least what is the best thing in life:
 
SEAFOOD!!!! Look at the king crabs and big big prawns!

Well these are the ones you find in London too.
 
 
Well thats all! Merci.
