Bonjour!

I am back from Paris! I had a amazing time, I'm already planning to go back there (hopefully soon). While I was there I seen some beautiful sights, ate lots of food, and thoroughly enjoyed the city of romance! I took so many pictures that there would be no way of showing them all on one small blog post. So instead i'm going to just write about some important and special parts of my holiday to me. Oh, and the photos that are in this post are from my phone not my camera so excuse the bad quality, my camera is lost at the moment amongst all the suitcases and bags somewhere.

For any of you who don't know what this is, this is padlock bridge in Paris. I wanted to go to padlock bridge for a few weeks before I went, but I didn't think I would actually find it there, but I did! So basically its a bridge with lots of love padlocks on, couples for years & years have visited this bridge to put a padlock on. I found this idea so lovely that I had to put one on with my boyfriend. We had the padlock engraved, it says our names, I love you, and the date we put the padlock on. It was so romantic, the bridge was beautiful with the thousands of padlocks that was on it. What made the bridge even prettier was the fact it is right on top of the river siene. Which me and my boyfriend took a cruise on a lovely boat down. Me and my boyfriend have both got a key to the padlock which we will keep and when we are older we are planning on visiting the bridge again. Also on this bridge I seen lots & lots of padlocks saying will you marry me, which was so lovely to look at. All of the padlocks were unique and if I could have I would have stayed there all day reading what they all said. I loved having the experience of going on this bridge and if anyone does visit Paris I 100% recommend visiting this bridge.



Arc de triomphe - I thought this building was so beautiful, all around it there is amazing detail and statues. Inside the building there is a tomb of the unknown soldier. I found this really touching, It is a tomb which is a grave that is for a soldier that was never identified. I think that this is such a lovely idea because to any families who have ever lost someone at war they could always come and visit this grave and they can then have a sense of hope that it is their loved one. It actually had me really emotional I thought it was such a beautiful idea, all around the tomb there was flowers and candles.
The eiffel tower - I was so happy when I saw the eiffel tower, this picture was taken during the day but it looked so much more nicer and beautiful in the night (the night time photo is unfortunately on my camera) I never imagined it to be so tall, I always knew that it was going to be a big building but in fact it is actually huge! I didn't go into the eiffel tower, there was a lot of work being done to it which meant there was a 4 hour queue to go in, we didn't have the time to wait. But I was so happy to have the opportunity to have even seen this beautiful building.


These photos are from a little resteraunt in Paris. Me and my boyfriend decided that when we were in Paris we were going to make the most of it and go to have a nice meal in a little quiet romantic resteraunt we found. It was his treat so I was not complaining. We went all out and went for lobster (which neither of us had ever tried, champagne, and for starters we had a crab cocktail. The restaraunt was so pretty. It was really posh and parisy haha! I loved it! The prices on the food was ridicolous mind, but It was so worth it we had a lovely night It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. Although the food was VERY pricey, it was so nice! espessialy the lobster!

Notre Dame cathedral - This was one of the buildings that I  was very glad to see in Paris, before seeing this building we were on the bus tour which told us all about the architexture and the detail in this building. They also told us the love story between esmerelda and the hunchback of notre dame, which most people will know the fairytale of. On the river siene cruise they also showed us this building from all different angles and showed us just how beautiful it is.

Okay so that completes my little Paris trip, it was only a little post because I have so many pictures I thought I would only write about the main parts of my trip.
When I was in Paris I went into Disneyland, which I will surely do a blog post on soon! I will also be doing one on my Paris haul, anyone who has read my blog will know that I LOVE shopping! So how could I possibly go to paris and not shop? I couldnt! haha!
