⤷ a week in paris in october ⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ ⟢ feat. saekenz
⟢ it took a while for us to find a week where we both had time off and then it took even longer to figure out how to match up being on the same hemisphere for long enough to actually spend time together
⟢ he knew he would have a week off training and no important games in the middle of october and i would already be in paris during that time, so we just decided to spend a week together there
⟢ i end up picking him up from the airport and after dropping his bags off at the hotel, we head out to walk along the seine before going to a fancy restaurant – of course with view of the eiffel tower
⟢ the next morning, after sleeping in which totally was not because i refused to get out of bed in the morning, i drag him to the trocadéro to of course take pictures and have the famous hot chocolate with whipped cream and strawberries. he would honestly judge me for paying so much for something simple as a hot chocolate and then in the same breath order me extra strawberries and refuse to let me even reach for my bag to pay
⟢ of course we also visit a bunch of museums and cathedrals on multiple days. sae would get annoyed having to wait in line at the louvre and reserve us a time slot, which i would have never thought of. (since this is during our fake dating era i insist that we take pictures at all the tourist spots and the glass pyramid is of course essential). after the museum we head to the mall right beside it where i'm making him buy me a box of macarons (we find better ones a few days later in some bakery on the streets of montmartre)
⟢ the next day we get up super early (he drags me out of bed) and go to the eiffel tower. we go to the very top of course, though sae questions the safety of the final elevator with how much it creaks -> of course i tease him for being a scaredy cat to which he only answers "i'm just thinking logical". we end up having a little picnic brunch right by the eiffel tower before taking a stroll along the rue de l'université. i convince him to take pictures there, since it's the spot for taking pictures with the eiffel tower (next to the trocadéro of course)
⟢ we decide to take a day away from all the bigger tourist spots and take the métro out to montmartre, which is still very much the centre of paris but not super crowded at all times. (sidenote: i know sae would struggle with the métro and how nonchalant parisians act about it -> we've had multiple close calls of either him or me not getting on in time, or getting bags stuck in the doors). in montmartre our first spot is the basilica of sacre coeur which i drag him to for its architecture and just how beautiful it is. continuing with architecture we take a stroll along montmartre, especially the streets along the place du tetre. we end up getting rained on so heavily, that we spend most of the day in a beautiful little café in some side alley. i'm making sae try a bunch of pastries and macaron flavours there while he brings up the hot chocolate again cause it was half the price in this café.
⟢ on our second to last day we decide to venture out of paris and visit the palais de versailles and the city of versailles as a whole. before driving back to paris for the night.
⟢ our vacation unfortunately got cut short on our last day, when i got a call about a job in paris and sae had to attend an impromptu friendly match against psg. he accompanies me to the job and i watch his game from the vip section. on our last night sae and i take a boat tour across the seine which ends with a fancy dinner on the boat.
