This is a dream place for many girls. I don't understand. Some of my friends even specified that they will only enjoy the romance of Paris with their another half. Well, I was there. No half, one whole me.
It is impossible to explore Paris in one day, I knew that. But I'm pretty sure that I'll be there again, so I decided just to be a passer-by.
It was raining heavily by the time I arrived (another reason I didn't want to stay any longer). However, it took me 45 mins bus journey to get to the hostel. So the rain has already stopped when I started to go around.
Paris is big. I did buy a day-ticket for public transportation. Save time but didn't save my money.
Opéra Garnier aka Paris Opera
Palais-Royal
Palais du Louvre
Louvre Pyramid - Overcrowded so I didn't even bother to go near it.
Centre Pompidou - a weird looking building
Snack: Crêpe sucrée ie crepe with sugar
Palais de Justice - the courts
Notre Dame de Paris
Panthéon in Paris
Palais du Luxembourg in Jardin du Luxembourg
Grand Palais
Invalides
You should know this.
Eiffel tower, in case you don't.
East pillar - empty
South pillar - empty
North pillar - long queue
West pillar - closed
I did go up to the tower, obviously. The reason is obvious too. Looking at all the pictures taken, what do you expect to see from above the tower in such a bad weather?
Arc de Triomphe - monument in the center of very busy roundabout
Sacré-Cœur Basilica
Dinner: bacon panini
The most enjoyable night - as I occupied the room all by myself
I experienced a one-day-in-Paris, veritably.
Not very keen on Paris. I'm not a romantic after all.
Next station: Bordeaux Gare St-Jean
