I love Paris – without doubt my favourite city since my first visit as a university student.
I am extremely fortunate that I am able to travel to Paris on a regular basis.
Last January I was offered the opportunity to do some work which allowed me to travel to Paris regularly and spend the day in this beautiful city. Quelle chance! This was my dream.
Living in Kent it is feasible to spend a day in Paris especially travelling via Eurostar. This was the first time in quite a few years I had gone for the day and travelled alone. I wanted to cram as much a possible into the trip.
Obviously my first stop had to be the Eiffel Tower via metro stop Trocedéro. I always love the view from here. Then a trip on Métro line 6 which allows views of the Tower and river.
My next stop was up in Montmartre. I wanted to see Rue de L’Abreuvoir, one of the prettiest streets in Paris and the famous La Maison Rose. Whilst busy with tourists, it did not disappoint.
Walking back I had to go past Montmartre’s vineyard and down past Amélie’s café to the Moulin Rouge.
Quick stop at Monoprix to get a baguette, cheese, meat and wine for dinner back in the UK and that was all I had time for before my Eurostar journey home.
Somebody once said – Paris is always a good idea. I couldn’t agree more.
A très bientôt…
