Travel Diary: Paris

So on the 5th May Jake and I traveled to Paris for my Birthday. I have always loved Paris and was desperate to visit again so i thought it would be perfect to celebrate my 19th there.

After waking up at the painful time of 5am we made our way to Luton Airport to start our journey! 

After only an hour of flying we Arrived at Orly Airport, we soon hoped onto our bus and was on the way to Central Paris. The hotel we stayed in was in the Montparnasse area, right next to the train station. The location was close to the metro and bus links and was overall a nice area. Taking a left outside our hotel their is a view of the Eiffel Tower!

Don't you just love how beautiful all the buildings are!

While in Paris we mainly wanted to sight see, we decided to get onto on of the hop on hop off tour buses which we both thoroughly enjoyed which took us to all of the sights!

The Eiffel Tower is just insane...We didn't book any tickets for the Eiffel Tower and the queues were just ridiculously massive so we gave it and miss and decided we would come back in the evening to see if they were any better,

 I love love love the Cafes restaurants in Paris, we were so lucky with the weather which was around 26 degrees so we were able to sit outside every time. Obviously we had to have Pizza...

So the next day we went back to the Eiffel Tower in the evening and the queues were much shorter so we decided to queue and see Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower at night time! We queued for around an hour and by the time we got to the top the sun was setting which was just perfect! Seeing Paris at night time was so beautiful. While at the Summit a man proposed to his girlfriend and the atmosphere was amazing!

We then went back down to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle which was the most magical sight ever! 

Obviously while in Paris you need to have some crepes and macaroons!

We spent 4 nights in Paris and if i were to do it again I would only spend 2-3 nights as even though there is so much to see you can do it all in that time! I had the most amazing trip for my birthday and I wouldn't change any of it!
