Paris is not really on my top list of places to visit, but since I was offered the opportunity to visit it, I did and now I can say I’ve been to Paris, the place that many couples want to go because it is said to be a very romantic city.
Since I was there only for 2 days, my lovely boyfriend, D., decided to give me a tour through one of his favorite cites, meaning I didn’t have to organize anything, so I let myself be surprised.
The first stop for the first day was Notre-Dame de Paris, as always cities like Paris and Rome are always crowded with tourists no matter during which time of the year you go. The Cathedral was nice, but I was not impressed, people always talk so highly of Notre-Dame and I know is one of the finest Gothic churches ever built, but still, is beautiful and that’s all. The stained glasses inside were interesting, thought.
After walking around and losing a bit our way, passing the Shakespeare and Co. bookstore, we went to see Louvre, at least from the outside.
The third stop was the Catacombs of Paris, very interesting place, having the audio guided tour really helped to understand how all those bones ended up there and why. One thing that was mentioned during the guided tour was that at some point there was a concert in the catacombs, playing classic pieces like Funeral March by Chopin, Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns and other such pieces. I think that would be interesting every once in a while, to have some classic concerts down there.
Next stop was Montparnasse Tower. I was a bit shocked that you must pay a lot just to go the last floor of a huge building to have a nice view over Paris. I would not do it a second time.
The last stop of the day was Le Jardin du Luxembourg, this place was amazing, despite the many people there. The best part of the entire park is the metal chairs which you can move wherever you want.
