Paris is the dream destination for most of the people. It is a famous city for traveler in Europe. It is a romantic city, beautiful architecture and great food. If you are foodie then you will have a great time enjoying delicacy french cuisine. Paris was one of my first trip to Europe when I was fourteen years old. I went there relate to my summer Europe English camp so I was in England, France and Switzerland for one month period of time. I was extremely excited for everything I had seen. This trip was the beginning of becoming a traveler. I started to love traveling a lot and started to ask my parents to go abroad more and lucky me that my parents gave me independent and support for my passionate.
Since then I started to travel back to Paris every year until I decided to go study fashion in Paris. I spent a couple years in Paris. I had a great living Parisian style, back then I tried to learn and tried Parisian life style as much as possible. I used to live in one a the greatest location. It was surrounded by restaurants, high end fashion clothing, boulangerie - patisserie or in English bakery shop and all the building in Paris has it character. You would feel the vibe cause of the building itself is old and classic. I remember one of beautiful thing about French bakery. When I was in fashion school. I had to stay up late to work on my assignment so I usually got hungry around 2.00 am or 3.00am so I would went out around my neighbor hood. At these time I could buy Kebab - Arabian food but I always got distract by the aroma of baking from the bakery shop while I was walking on the street of Paris. It was so Frenchie and authentic I would called. There was also one of the French restaurant that I could walk too which open 24 hours. This is pure personally of my adventure of restaurants around Paris. It was a great experienced to think back that I could actually eat my authentic French food around 3.00 am in the morning, by the way just to let you know I usually had steam mussel with white wine sauce at these times.
There are so many great restaurants all around Paris. I love the escargots, French crepe is my all times favorites. I was so crazy for French crepe which I would be able to have them everyday. I love apple tart as well, specially with Rose wine. I also have my specific place where I love to eat my apple tart and a glass of rose. There was my favorite restaurant where I could sit outside over looking the bridge over Seine river. There are fresh market street as well where you can the best quality of oysters, sea food, meat shop and all type of authentic French cuisine. I remember that I was so obsessed with roasted chicken. There was a place near where I lived that I had to order and pick up. The aroma of this roasted chicken was all over the street. This has been over thirteen years already but I would say this was the best roasted chicken I ever had in my life.
More then the best food that I could experienced around the corner. I also love getting around here with my bicycle. Paris is a beautiful city and is romantic. I love ridding my bicycle at night to Champs-ÉlyseeS for an ice cream or a glass of wine. Even in the winter here. I could still sit outside. It's common here in Paris which are all restaurants have the heater outside and it was even better during the summer. The other way to get around Paris is by subway but people here also love to ride their scooters. It is a wonderful way to get around the city while you could enjoy the scenery of beautiful Paris.
Here in Paris. There are beautiful architectures everywhere. It is the mixed of modern living life style and the classy cultures. Anywhere you look there are classic French building and architecture but you also can see high end fashion and stores. This is one of the luxurious travel destination in Europe and If you are looking for museum and history. There are so many great museum in Paris like Louvre museum "Musee du Louvre, North-dam Church, Tour Eiffel, Place de Etoile gate, Palace of Versailles and even Gallery Musee Baccarat and Yves Saint Laurent gallery for fashion lover. There are so many interesting galleries and world show case exhibits here in Paris so make sure to find ones that you have interested once you visit Paris!
I also love shopping in Paris. There got distract walking around shopping district here. I love shopping for bags and shoes here. I would say that there are many great leather shoes here. Even though I live in New York City but when I visit Paris there always something I want to buy. This is the city of fashion like New York City so I would keep the concept of TravelChic traveling in style. More then just shopping I could still enjoy the beauty of the city around the corner. I love resting and chill by the Seine river. It was usual thing I love to do anything I visit Paris or either I took a ferry ride to enjoy the wonderful view of architecture and appreciate the moments of my trip in Paris!
