A Travel blog celebrating all of the small moments of discovery and exploration!

It is strange how a city can be so familiar and a stranger to you at the same time? City watching is my personal time to be lost in my thoughts and to let my mind wander. There are things that make me nostalgic, some things that fill me with wonder and yet others that make me sad and melancholic for places I have never been to. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #paris #pariscity #parisjetadore #parisjetaime #parismaville #parismaville #parisianevenings #parisfeelings #parisfeels #citywatch #citylife #parismonamour #parisfranceofficial #chouette_paris #parisobviously #parisgram #instaparis (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci5TdEBI32J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On a evening walk, we crossed paths, and we embraced and told each other tales of the past. . . . . . . . . . . . #paris #pariscity #parisianevenings #parisjetadore #parisjetaime #parisvisit #toureiffel #eiffeltower #pariscityvision #pariswalks #franceobviously #visitparis #paristour #walkinparis (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiM7bBsIf4K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Summer might not be my favourite season but I absolutely love the Summer Vibes of Paris. So much to explore and do - great concerts, great exhibitions and of course experiencing the terrace culture in it's full swing! . . . . . . . . #parisianstyle #summerinparis #summervibes #pariscity #pariscityvision #parismonamour #parismaville #parisvisit #parisianstreets #parisian (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1N5TAovLW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you are visiting Paris, keep in mind to look up Flea Markets happening during your stay. You will find some great antiques and souvenirs for dirt cheap price that can make for some very interesting souvenirs to take back home. Some of the most famous Brocantes in Paris are: 1. Les puces de Montreuil 2. Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen 3. Marché aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves There are many others happening in and around Paris and you can look up the dates at https://brocabrac.fr/ or at https://vide-greniers.org/75-Paris. This photo is from the Brocante at Saint Mandé. (at Saint-Mandé, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRdIvaotRR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The 10th Arrondissement has to be one of the coolest areas in Paris. Boasting the likes of Canal Saint-Martin, Place de la République, Porte Saint-Denis, Cœur des petites Écuries, as well as the gorgeous architecture of the Mairie du 10e itself, there are endless things to explore here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #paris #visitparis #placestovisitinparis #paristourisme #francetourisme #streetphotography #parisian #parismonamour #travelblog #travelguide #paristravelguide (at Paris 10e) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJ_bPPIUyX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Initially known as the new Opéra de Paris, it was given the name of Palais Garnier due to its extravagant design and opulence and became a 'Monument Historic' in 1923. While I highly recommend doing a tour of the Opéra, if you are on limited time in Paris, it is a must to at least include a Photoshop here, to soak in the view of the grandeur and beauty of its exterior.

One of the best ways to experience Paris while travelling here, is to do the Seine River Cruise. You get to see a lot of the important monuments and sites and it comes with a guided description of the history and importance of each site. There are a few companies that provide a variety of cruises. This picture is from my cruise with @bateauxmouches who offer the tour in 10 different languages.
