Paris in a few hours - After my trip

              So back to reality and my quick stay in Paris. It was very good and I could enjoy a lot with a friend of my there. It's nice to have someone that lives there by your side, cause you just go, you don't need to check the map nor which line of the metro you should take.

So, going back to the post that I did before my trip (click here to see it), those are the places that I wanted to go:

1. Jardin des Plantes;
2. Jardim de Luxemburgo;
3. Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris;
4. Le Centre Pompidou;
5. 31 Rue Cambon - Chanel;
6. Galeries Lafayette;
7. L'Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile;
8. Tour Eiffel.

At the end, I didn't went to Jardin des Plants nor Galeries Lafayette cause I gave priority to the other places and I didn't want to rush.
I went to the Jardim de Luxemburg and Tuileries. And even during winter they are so beautiful. I was blessed with a little bit of sunshine when I was passing by. And I could take amazing photos.
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris was the first place that I went, it's close to the love locks bridge, there are some locks there. I could not go inside the Notre-Dame as the queue was too big (going around the square :O ).
I didn't went to the Centre Pompidou. Actually I forgot it, since the conversation with my friend was so good and I was not worried about checking everything that I was doing.
I saw the Chanel store at 31 Rue Cambon, but unfortunatelly I couldn't get in cause it was Sunday and the store was closed, but the shop window was already with the theme of the next fashion show of Chanel. ♥♥♥
Well, at the last time I decided to go up in the Eiffel Tour, and I could see Paris by night from there.
It's so beautiful! and always special (and cold as well lol).
 So I had just a few time left and I went to the Champs Elysee and bought some macarons at Ladurée and some tea at Kusmi Tea Store, they are very close. Then I headed back to the airport.

I love Paris so much! Au revoir Paris!

Paris in a few hours - Before my trip

Soon I'm gonna have a long fight connection in Paris, and I did this guide to see again some places that I liked more the last time that I went to Paris.

From my last time in Paris

I have about 8 hours of flight connection, so a plenty of time to do everything in this guide and do the go and return jorney from CDG to the city centre.

Here is a printscreen of two guides that can be done in about 2 hours without stopping.

So the places are:

1. Jardin des Plantes. (I have not been there the last time);
2. Jardim de Luxemburgo;
3. Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris;
4. Le Centre Pompidou;
5. 31 Rue Cambon - Chanel;
6. Galeries Lafayette (One says the rooftop is amazing);
7. L'Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile;
8. Tour Eiffel.

Depending on what you like more, you can change it a like bit. You can click here for the first map or here for the second and add more places on the maps or delete some you don't want to go.
I wanted to do everything by metro, but I realize the time to do it walking is not much bigger, and I love to walk. In Paris, it's even better. ;)

Top 10 things to do in Paris - France

How to go to Paris and not fall in love? Honeslty, before I went, I was like: " Ok, it's not all this that everybody says, it can't be so good." . But in fact, it is! Paris is lovely. If you don't speak french a tip is to ask information to young people. Young people usually are learning english and they want to pratice. So, we had not problem to ask for information.

The places that you can't miss are:

1. The Eiffel Tower - It's really worth to go till the higher floor of the tower (if you are not afraid of heights). The view from up there is amazing and we could watch the sunset. Take your coat with you even if it's warm, the temperature up there is colder.
2. Palais - Royal Gardens
3. Luxembourg Gardens
4. Pont Saint-Louis pedestrian bridge
5. The Louvre Museum - We spent almost the whole day there favorite museum in the world!
6. Notre Dame 
7. Basilique du Sacré-Coeur - The view from the entrance of the Basilique is very beautiful as well. Just take care with the guys arround trying to sell you stuff, some times they can grab your arm to call your attetion and make you to buy their stuff. If you go to Sacré-Couer, also go to the next place..
8. Moulin Rouge;
9. Avenue des Champs-Élysée;
10. And if you enjoy fashion Rue Cambon, to see the Chanel building. 

Most of the days we went walking to the touristic places, everything is close. So get a map at the Tourist Info Desk (I always get a map of the city when I arrive, could be at the airport or at the train station). The metro in Paris is quite easy to use, like most around the world. Usually to go back to the hostel we would get the metro.

A thing that you can't miss is buy a french bread and buy some cheese to have with wine. I like to experience bakeries and supermarkets when I travel. You can find everything at Carrefour in Paris, it's a really great supermarket.

Hope you enjoy your trip!
