Last month I went to Paris for three days, and I fell in love. So I wanted to share my photo diary with you! I love everything about this city: the language, the food, the fashion, architecture, shopping and atmosphere. I went together with my boyfriend by plane, it was only 45 minutes from Amsterdam. Sometimes going from my place to the university takes more than 45 minutes. The world is really a small place! It was around Christmas when we were in Paris and you could really feel that ultimate cosy winter feeling: there was a huge christmas market at Champs-Élysées where a lot of people drank mulled wine and ate crêpes, there was beautiful lighthing everywhere around the city and even the Eiffel Tower was illuminated.
We went three(!) times to the famous Louvre. During the first night we actually went into the museum to admire the Mona Lisa. The other two times, we made a lot of nice and funny pictures and enjoyed the sun at the square.
If you go to France, you really really have to taste macarons. I had my first macaron in Paris and it was so lovely! For our first macaron we went to the famous Pierre Hermé (Rue Cambon), a pastry chef who is very famous for his macarons, because many of them have an ‘unusual’ flavour combination like: olive oil and vanilla, passion fruit and chocolate.
We enjoyed a butterschotch macaron, with salted caramel filling and it tasted like heaven!

Paris is also a fashion city and the perfect city for luxury shopping. Even the show windows are chique and high class! I really loved this one from Christian Dior at Rue Montaigne
If you’re going to Paris, don’t hesitate to visit Pont des Arts, also known as ‘the lovers bridge’. Lovers and friends visit this brigde and place padlocks to the bridge and throw the keys in the river Seine to symbolise their love.
And ofcourse ours couldn’t miss!
You got a sneak peak of my trip to Paris. It was an amazing trip and I can’t wait to go back and discover this metropoltian city more and more! If you’re planning a trip, I really recommend Paris! Hope you enjoyed it 🙂
