7/25 A better Paris


I really disliked Paris yesterday, but the tour around some of the most famous spots in Paris today changed my mind, a bit haha.

I decided to visit Louvre and the whole plaza first thing in the morning. It was about an hour away from me and I chose to travel on foot rather than take the Metro or by bus. This kind of preference gave me the advantage to discover cool places and take all the photos of interesting things I wanted XD

Both the Louvre and the plaza were beautiful, but I didn't buy the ticket for it said on the board that it's going to take about an hour before the next entry. There was a really tall monument on the end of the Louvre plaza, and I crossed the bridge toward Eiffel Tower.

Eiffel tower was just as beautiful and magnificent as any of the photos on postcards and textbooks. 

There were a big crowd beneath it and I really enjoyed the excitement brought by all this people.

There was a Museum located on the top of a hill beside the Tower and all kinds of people just enjoyed themselves under the sun, I didn't stop and kept walking until I reach the gate of triumph. It was another piece of fantastic artwork and building, I even got the ticket to go on top of the gate to take some of the sceneries, from the top you got to see the Tower, the Cathedral, Chapel and the Museum.

Next stop was the entire length of Elysee de Champs, and there were all sort of antiques and shops by the side. The monument was at the end of the Elysee, and I was back to Louvre again. It took me a while before I got back to my hotel, though I didn't get lost this time which was really fortunate haha. 

I felt exhausted but extremely satisfied of what I had accomplished and seen today, good for you Paris.
