What a magnificent city! Paris fell into the same legendary status for me like Italy did, and luckily it also delivered on all fronts.
The city as a whole was wayyy larger than I expected. I’m so glad I reserved extra time in Paris as there was just so much stuff to do! Everything I did while I was in Paris felt so fulfilling. Like I’ve been waiting my entire life just to experience every moment. Having authentic French pastries and fancy French cuisine. Exploring The Louvre and Orsay Museums. Being up close to the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and Arc de Triomphe. All just magnificent!
I was warned that French are a little rude towards foreigners who don’t speak the language so I did feel a bit intimidated going in. I felt the most out of place during my first day, but the feeling quickly went away once I started noticing the smiles on people’s faces when I used the small amount of French I did know. After that hurdle, I felt confident and welcomed, making the rest of my stay dreamlike! I cannot wait to come back!
