This is how it all started. I had a week between end of my project and a course in Rotterdam. Now thinking what all i can do and where all i can go, was the question.
Paris was on my mind, one of the most visited place in Europe and never been there. More importantly the time was right, just before the winter catches in.
So got my flights sorted but the hotel was still an issue. Got it done few hours before the flight took off.
I don know why I had this impression that no one entertains you much if you speak English (feedback from some of the friends and colleagues), so was little bit skeptical.
But anyways, two hours of flying and there i was at Charles de Gaulle airport.
I decided to drop the baggage at hotel and visit the Eiffel tower the same day. It was like a dream come true, beautiful.
If I am visitng a place for the first time, have not done much research and have enough time at hand, I take a bus tour to decide on the places i want to visit.
There is something about Paris. I have never seen so much well dressed crowd.
There are Cafes and bars all over Paris. One can sit out on nice evening and enjoy.
I could not keep myself away from Eiffel tower so visited it everday.
As far as people are concerned, they try to help with as much english as they can. Learn a few words like Bonjour (good morning, guess we all know that ), merci (thank you), that will definitely help.
Be it fashion, style or luxury, Paris has it all.
