How to go to Paris, France
It made me
oh so happy!
 "Once in a lifetime!"
How I did it: My boyfriend did all of the planning, so I just showed up at the train station. From there we took the Eurostar to Paris and once we arrived we hopped on the Metro. You can get pretty much anywhere on that thing. Lessons & tips: Get a good map and a Metro pass. Pick out one or two things you want to get done each day and then if you finish them you can sight see and take in things you didn't plan on. Go when it is less busy - maybe October - and show up early to get in places. By the time The Louvre opens the line is around the entire square. One hour before will get you a decent spot. Be sure and have all of the French delicacies like baguettes, truffles, crepes. Vegetarians be aware France is a meat loving country. You will find it hard to get a meal that is different from the one you ate the night before. We eat dairy so it was not so bad. Resources: The info centre at the train station has maps and guidebooks that they will give you. The metro has a good website. Beware of so called tourist info websites that are just looking to get your money by pre-booking. If you arrive early enough you don't need tickets ahead of time. |

SMILE!
How I did it: I went on a Europe tour with my mom two summers ago. We also visited Italy, Switzerland and London, England. The whole trip was great, but Paris was definitly my favorite! The Eiffel Tower was so pretty at night, and I was able to climb up it during the day and see the beautiful of the city! Read how I did it…

Five Days in Paris
10 months ago
My Christmas present this year from my boyfriend was a five day trip to Paris. We took the Eurostar from London and spent a glorious, if not freezing, four nights at the Hotel La Manufacture. We went to the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Notre Dame, and everywhere else our aching feet could carry us. We ate all of the best French food and celebrated New Year’s Eve in The City of Light. It was perfect.

Paris

I love art. Art is my life. Paris has an exquisite art collection and that is why I would like to go there. I also think that the French language is beautiful and the culture is wonderful. Paris would be a great adventure and I fully intend to go there one day.

My sister, my mom, and I went there a number of years back. Though we spent three days there, didn’t have enough time to see much. Would love to go back some time. But, I want to go with someone who speaks French. My sister got us decent service by speaking a bit of French.
The Big Goal
2 years ago
Interesting that I would add this goal to my list first. I’ve always wanted to go abroad, specifically to France, but I’m in no real hurry to do so. I just got started in my career a year ago, so I’m just about used to the whole adulthood groove, I guess. Just last week I opened a savings account that automatically deducts a set sum each month from my bank account.This savings plan has been dubbed “The holyalmost is going to Paris Fund!”. I think that naming it as such will prevent me from considering dipping into it.
