... it was so magical.. I was last here back in 2008, having just moved to London, I was all eager eye to explore, and Paris was my dream and first destination...
Definitely what I remembered.. Such magical city, such romantic language, such well dressed people, such beautiful pastries and sugary stuff that I kept indulging in, again and again.. and of course the occasional rude French waiter... ;)
I've had quite a fun time taking pictures with my SLR camera as well as my faithful companion, my faithful iPhone..
This is Paris as I've remembered...
 |
| Sunset at Jardin Des Tuileries... That's the iconic Eiffel Tower from the distance... |
 |
| Our hotel, Hotel Paris Bastille.. Great location.. Thanks for booking us, miss A!! Our room was tiny... and 3 of us fit into it... cozy and just perfect hehe =) |
 |
| Our landmark!! |
 |
| Exploring our neighbourhood.. and walking to the vintage fair.. |
 |
| A church along the street.. |
 |
| Oui Oui? |
 |
| I love all their buildings... |
 |
| Laduree is soo pretty.. Pity the shop is going through renovation ;( |
 |
| Strolling through the gardens... |
 |
| The garden was filled with people, soaking up the sun... |
 |
| The fountain in the middle.. |
 |
| Sailing boats for hire, anyone? |
 |
| Pretty pretty colours... |
 |
| Loving the carefree nature of children... *sigh* |
 |
| Float little boats, float... |
 |
| These kids sure were having fun, pushing their boats around the fountain... |
 |
| Freeedom..... Float away! |
 |
| The iconic eiffel tower... |
 |
| Jardin Des Tuileries |
 |
| So pretty.. =) |
 |
| Louvre Museum.. |
 |
| Basilique du Sacre-Coeur |
 |
| We got off at Anvers station to explore the area for my french laces and trimmings... and I bought some home! So happy!!! Now I'll need to see what I can do with them =x |
I decided to explore on my last day here in Paris, and had fun walking for 40minutes east, instead of west. How I hate my iPhone map! It's really confusing =( but I managed to take quite a few pictures which I was quite happy with =)
 |
| Coming out from one of the station... |
 |
| Beautiful buildings... |
 |
| I think the black and white turned out pretty nice... |
 |
| Some church on the east side of Paris... |
 |
| The buildings were starting to look seedier, the farther I walked.. To be honest, I was actually lost... if Miss A didn't SMS to ask me where I was.. I would have continued to walk .... Anyhow.. from here.. I managed to catch the train back to Madeleine... |
 |
| Our last night here.. what better way to spend the night by visiting the Eiffel Tower? Here I was trying to find the proper setting on my camera.... I look drunk here ;) |
 |
| Wheeeeee!!... |
 |
| Eiffel Tower by night... |
 |
| Quite a sight I can tell you.. |
 |
| Being under it is quite impressive.. I've been up there my last trip and I remembered the view was breathtaking! |
 |
| Walking to the train station, hoping we haven't missed our last train home at midnight =) The moon was eerily cloudly.... |
 |
| Looking back, the eiffel tower is still bathed in all its bright gloriness.. |
 |
| The two lovebirds walking in front of me... Moonlight walk ;) |
