      Chau Roma, Hola Paris

      May 26, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Hoy nos levantamos más tarde de lo normal, armamos las valijas y dejamos el departamento a las 10:30am. El vuelo salía a las 18:30hs así que teníamos tiempo de sobra ⏰. Por lo que salimos a dar la última vuelta por Roma y aprovechamos a almorzar algo! 🌮🍕🍔
      A eso de las 14:00hs salimos para el aeropuerto, donde fuimos al VIP a comer más comida y descansar un rato.
      El vuelo se retrasó 45min así que llegamos más tarde a Paris.
      Después de muchos líos y problemas pudimos entrar al departamento! Ya eran las 22;30hs así que buscamos y encontramos la única pizzería abierta cerca. Fuimos y comimos, pero HABÍA LAUCHAS adentro del restoran! Casi me infarto 😱🐀.
      Mañana nos espera un nuevo día en Paris 🫶🏻💪🏼

      Dia 2- 📍Paris

      May 28, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Hoy nos levantamos un poquito más tarde y decidimos emprender viaje hacia el Louvre 🫶🏻! Pero no sin antes hacer una mini parada técnica a comprar algunas cositas ricas 😋.
      Llegamos al museo y el sol pegaba bastante fuerte ☀️, hicimos la cola y a los pocos minutos pudimos entrar. Vimos la mona lisa (donde me colé en la fila) y saqué algunas fotos!
      A la vuelta almorzamos en los jardines del palacio real, muy muy rico.
      Depues volvimos al departamento, descansamos un rato y ya se hizo la hora de cenar. Con el abuelo compramos algunas cosas para picar 🍔🍰🍩🌮. Antes de que oscurezca pasamos x la Torre y esperamos hasta que se prendan las lucecitas 💌🫶🏻❤️‍🩹!

    • Day 17

      bon après-midi, Paris, France

      November 19, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Surviving the dijonaisse disaster, our tour heads to our final destination. Paris.

      The group fatigue is so heavy in the air, you could almost bottle it. We are collectively exhausted. 9 days. 7 countries. Was the best saved for last? Paris is spectacular, though I think a favourite destination will only reveal itself for us all on retrospection.

      We spend the afternoon touring some of the architectural landmarks of Paris by bus. We view what remains of the Notre Dame. The Louvre. The iconic bridges and the grand lady herself, The Eiffel tower. Statue of Napoleon.

      The architecture is so exquisitely detailed. The investment of time. Money. Intricacy overlooked in our modern world, though I do consider the investment in such luxury, was in a time of significant wealth disparity and showmanship of status and power. The beautiful buildings all begin to look the same. This is easy territory for me to get lost in.

      The highlight of our visit to Paris is our city of lights dinner. Our group head off for an evening of French cuisine, entertainment and the Eiffel tower at night.

      I bravely order la grenouille - ze frog. Kermit arrives, and I try a little. The meat is tender, texturally similar to chicken; though it is so heavily marinated in garlic it's difficult to discern the true meat flavour. I do not finish Kermit. Miss Piggy, I am not.

      I move on to the snails. I've had them before at a classy French restaurant in Melbourne. I'm not sure our restaurant tonight is fine dining. The snails are okay. Chewy.

      The highlight of the evening is the entertainment - an accordian player and beautiful multilingual french / english singer. I am overjoyed to hear Non, je ne regrette rien, by Edith Piaf. I request my favourite song, la vie en rose, and my heart swells watching Brandon and Julia, a married couple of ten years, slow dance to the most beautiful ballad of love. I've attached the video. Excusez-moi at my terrible interjections in English. I can usually hold a note much better than this. Just ask me. Though, I've enjoyed some wine tonight, and this is such a beautiful song. And moment.

      I'm seated next to Michelle. I'm saddened that tonight is our last evening together before she returns to California. We commit to our journeys of self-love and compassion, and I'm so very thankful to have made such a connection with such a wonderful human being.

      Our night concludes with another visit to The Eiffel. Too much wine. Not enough sleep. Farewells to the group we've spent what seems like forever with.

      I'm grateful to have an additional night in Paris before my departure on 21/11, 1600 Paris time, to Istanbul, for the final leg of my journey. The Mediterranean (and a little more of Italy 🥰).

      Au revoir, à bientôt, to my newest friends, and an abundance of gratitude for our shared experience.

      Au revoir, belle Paris ♥

      September 19, 2019 in France ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Zitate über Paris! 😇

      "Paris ist immer eine gute Idee." - Audrey Hepburn

      "Ein Spaziergang durch Paris wird Unterricht in Geschichte, Schönheit und dem Punkt des Lebens geben." - Thomas Jefferson

      „Paris zu kennen, bedeutet viel zu wissen.“ - Henry Miller

      „Wenn Sie das Glück haben, als junger Mann in Paris gelebt zu haben, dann bleibt Paris für den Rest Ihres Lebens bei Ihnen, denn Paris ist ein bewegliches Fest.“ - Ernest Hemingway

      „Weißt du, ich denke manchmal, wie kommt jemand auf ein Buch, ein Gemälde, eine Symphonie oder eine Skulptur, die mit einer großen Stadt mithalten kann? Das kannst du nicht. Weil man sich umschaut und jede Straße, jeder Boulevard eine eigene Kunstform ist und wenn man denkt, dass es in dem kalten, gewalttätigen, bedeutungslosen Universum, das Paris gibt, diese Lichter gibt. Ich meine, komm schon, auf Jupiter oder Neptun passiert nichts, aber aus dem Weltall sieht man diese Lichter, die Cafés, die Leute, die trinken und singen. Nach allem, was wir wissen, ist Paris der heißeste Ort im Universum. ”- Owen Wilson

      "Wir werden immer Paris haben." - Howard Koch

      „London ist ein Rätsel. Paris ist eine Erklärung. ”- G. K. Chesterson

      „Paris war ein Universum, ganz und gar für sich selbst, ausgehöhlt und von der Geschichte geprägt - so schien sie in dieser Zeit Napoleons III selbst. Alles wurde von ihr umarmt, von ihrer flüchtigen und verzauberten Bevölkerung, die die Galerien, die Theater, die Cafés drängte und immer wieder Genialität und Heiligkeit, Philosophie und Krieg, Frivolität und die beste Kunst hervorbrachte Draußen sollte sie in Dunkelheit versinken, was fein war, was schön, was essentiell war, könnte dort noch zu ihrer schönsten Blüte kommen. Sogar die majestätischen Bäume, die ihre Straßen schmückten und schützten, waren auf sie abgestimmt - und das Wasser der Seine, das enthalten und schön war, als sie sich durch ihr Herz schlängelten -, so dass die Erde an diesem von Blut und Bewusstsein geprägten Ort aufgehört hatte sei die Erde und sei Paris geworden. “- Anne Rice.

      "Wenn gute Amerikaner sterben, gehen sie nach Paris." - Oscar Wilde

      "Wer Paris nicht regelmäßig besucht, wird nie wirklich elegant sein."-Honoré de Balzac

      "Geheimnisse reisen schnell in Paris." -Napoleon Bonaparte

      „Ein Künstler hat in Europa kein Zuhause außer in Paris.“ -Friedrich Nietzsche

    • Day 20

      Eiffel Tower

      June 29, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      It was an early start today. We headed to Kings Cross Station and caught the Eurostar to Paris in preparation for our trip to Disneyland.

      The first thing we decided to do was visit the Eiffel Tower. We wanted to go up the tower, but of course the tickets for the lift up the tower sold out months ago, so it looks like we have a few steps to climb instead. 674 of them to be exact.

      Dani is not a big fan of heights, so she stayed at ground level with plans to seek out a gluten free bakery she had spotted on Google (more on that later). The rest of us, including the Pearce's, headed for the stairs.

      Everyone did a great job on the climb up the stairs even the little ones. However the number of people at the top made things a little unpleasant, especially given that it was quite a warm and humid day. We spent a bit of time enjoying the view and then made our way back down to meet Dani.

      Verdict: it was a fun and worthwhile experience, but the views OF the Eiffel Tower from the ground are probably than the views FROM the Eiffel Tower.

      Paris - Eiffelturm

      August 16, 2022 in France ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

      Mit dem TGV ging es von Luxemburg nach Paris. Angekommen haben wir erstmal den Eiffelturm besichtigt und sind mit einem Boot über die Seine gefahren. Der Ausblick war sehr schön und die wichtigsten Wahrzeichen von Paris konnten mit dem Boot erreicht werden 😊
      Am Ende der Bootsfahrt haben wir noch einen Crêpe unter dem Eiffelturm gegessen 🥰

      Paris 🇫🇷

      July 21, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      First night in Paris !
      Big day on the train but my hostel was very social so went straight to dinner and had splurged a bittt with my new friends trying some snails that mmm were so good.
      Then me and Bryn shared a main to save some $$
      We all went to the Eiffel Tower and saw it sparkleee and of course had to do the classic bridge tourist shot 🤓
      I left with some girls at the tower who were going back to the hostel because the rest of my friends were going out but I was tired from the trains.
      Next morning I wake up and see Niamh who I had met at the Eiffel Tower come into the room with a huge bandage on the middle finger and looking like she was about to burst into tears. Poor girl had been on an electric scooter and somehow had fallen off and it had then somehow ran over her finger which a piece of is now forever in front of the Eiffel Tower. I had just met her an hour before this happened.
      She had been at the emergency room all night alone and was about to go to surgery and the pharmacy alone so I went with her. She learnt French at school so new a bit so I couldn’t really help out much but on the hospital papers I am her cousin so please welcome her to the fam xx but the moral support was all there. I will visit her in Scotland sometime during my trip I hope.
      Pranked mum with the hospital selfies and questions about insurance so we had a giggle while we were waiting. Big day. She had a yellow hand after surgery from the amnesia so got a few curious looks. Forever flipping us off ;)

      Scout had flown in and was at the hostel so got a very excited photo sent to me too and then on the way back from the hospital we were both walking along the canal and I see scout walking towards us (unplanned) and for a second I didn’t know it was her but then she saw me and we ran so fast and had a big hug and that was so nice to see my lovelyyy best franddd again after 2 whole months :)))) 🥰🥰🥰

      63ème étape ~ Paris (jour 1)

      September 30, 2022 in France ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Après 2 jours de repos à dormir, regarder des séries et manger (encore), nous sommes arrivés jeudi soir chez à Christelle et Franck, la famille Zanutel.
      Nous décidons de visiter Paris grâce à la meilleure guide que l’on connaisse : notre fidèle amie Léa Granger ♥️
      Nous commençons par une activité insolite : manger !
      Ensuite, nous montons jusqu’au 2ème étage de la Tour Eiffel à pied, 670 marches ! Nous ne pouvons pas aller plus haut car il y a la Fashion Week et le sommet est réservé pour un show organisé par Louboutin.
      Ensuite balade jusqu’au mur des Je t’aime.
      Après avoir bu un verre en terrasse, nous rejoignons les Zanutel pour manger un morceau et assister à un spectacle de stand up.
      Journée bien remplie, environ 15km de balade ☺️

    • Day 12

      Iconic Paris

      September 17, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      We did the Eiffel Tower climb this morning - a first for me. I didn’t do it the last trip. It was 674 stairs to the 2nd floor - and then we took the elevator to the summit, the height of an 81 story skyscraper. Back when it was built in 1889 (for the Worlds fair) it was the tallest structure in the world at that time!

      We learned all sorts of things on our tour - one fact I found interesting: when The Nazis invaded France, Hitler wanted a photo op of him personally hanging the Nazi flag from the top of the tower. The French would not hear of it, and cut the cables to the elevators, rendering them useless - and Hitler was said to have been afraid of heights and wouldn’t do the hike to the top - so no Nazi flag ever was flown. They said “you can take our country, but you cannot take our tower”.

      We walked through the river area and saw a few sites on the way - I love seeing the Egyptian obelisk. It was a gift to the French, and an identical one stands at the Luxor temple with a blank space representing this one. Fun that I’ve seen them both! Then went to the Arc de Triumph. A military monument built in the center of Paris. That turned out to be another 282 stairs. My legs were shaking by the time we got down.

      We jumped on a hop on/hop off bus for a bit of a rest - which are really nice if you ever get a chance. Very relaxing. Then went on a Seine River cruise. We topped off our evening seeing the Eiffel Tower at night all lit up. Pretty sight.
