As I created a third card with a photo taken in Paris, I
wondered why I’d never posted about the city? In my excitement to create many
cards last year, I just grabbed random photos, but now that I’m a bit more
organized, I’m trying to created themed posts of cards (stay tuned for fruits
and veggies!). Last year, cards of Notre Dame Cathedral, along with the exterior of
the Musee de l'Armée were featured.
We were in Paris four years ago for just a few days, and
crammed in as much as possible while attempting to not run ourselves ragged
(aided by outstanding meals and chocolate croissants). Recommended ideas for
tourists include a river cruise, in the evening if possible.
A day trip to Versailles is easy by train, though it’s not
essential for first-timers on a tight schedule, in my opinion. When I first saw
this room during my junior year abroad, I thought it was a ballroom. Come to
find out, it’s just a hallway! My entire house would fit into less than half of
this hallway…
Artists with a phenomenal backdrop! When booking a hotel, I
get travel guides from the library to learn about neighborhoods and transportation
options, read reviews on tripadvisor.com and make a chart to compare my
favorites (free breakfast?, special package deals, etc.). We preferred the Musee d’Orsay over the
Louvre, and also benefitted from taking the hop-on-hop-off bus tour around town
to Sacre Coeur and other neighborhoods. Do you have a favorite Parisian location to share?
