The capital of France, PARIS, is one of the most fascinating and romantic cities in Europe. Also known as the 'City of Light', the beauty of Paris is so overwhelming that sightseeing is an endless pleasure. I went there for vacation last year and would love to take you around the places i went !

Eiffel Tower as we all already know, is one of the most famous structures in the world ! Everyone around the city of Paris will EVENTUALLY see the tower as it stands 81stories high. It is generally agreed by the locals that one hour before sunset, the panorama is at its best. This tower also features restaurants.
The Musée du Louvre or simply The Louvre took my breath away upon realizing how BIG this museum is! There are many categories of paintings such as the Spanish, English as well as the French artworks.
From the inside of the museum
Only 9 euros!! Equivalent to Singapore 15.50 dollars.
It's really worth every penny!
Spartans with Leonidas in the middle!
But its not like what we saw from the movie '300', This one.. they're naked !
Ps. Feel feel to drop your opinions/comments at the tagboard ! :)

- Did you know, It took a year and a month just to build the Eiffel Tower. (From April 1888 - May 1889)

- Did you know, Blockbuster movie The Da Vinci Code starring Tom hanks was filmed around paris especially in the Louvre Museum.
Finally...
Next stop..
Le Galeries Lafayette! Or like how i love to say it, the Orchard Road of Paris!
Why? Simply because almost everything can be found here. If you were to ever go to Paris, visiting this place is a must to witness how big this department store really is! Lost in paradise? Perhaps..
Two important lessons i learned in Paris, France :
- Learn the basics of the french language as not everyone can speak English. Also what i noticed was that even if you can't speak proper french, the effort is enough to capture the hearts of the Parisians.
- Explore the city by walking. Never take the expensive cabs (Very much like Singapore). The plus-point of this is also that you get to venture how beautiful Paris buildings are.
