"You were my new dream." "And you were mine."

Let`s take a stroll down Paris, shall we?



Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Paris


Of course, most of knows this famous church from ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ movie from Disney. Due to its old structure, the church features medieval art which can be seen inside and out. The west façade of this famous church boasts a beautiful stained glass that lights up beautifully at night!

Musée du Louvre


The Musée du Louvre houses the Mona Lisa painting, the Venus de Milo sculpture and many other pieces of art that dates back to the Medieval Era. Though museums can get us bored, I have a good feeling about this one. Since the pieces come from different eras and centuries, it would be an honor to see these at least once in your life, wouldn`t it? The mix of old and new architectural designs of the place makes it even more interesting to visit!

Disneyland Paris



Who in the wrong mind would want to miss this treat?! Yes you`re a grown up, no you`re not too old for Disney!

The warm welcome of the cast and crew, the cotton candy you eat while strolling around the park, the rides that will make you go crazy… What more can you ask for? It`s like getting a part in your Disney fairytale!

I`ve only gone once to Disneyland (in Hong Kong) and what pissed me off was that I had an asthma attack on the exact same day. I haven`t had the chance to go back but from then on, I always keep my inhaler in my pocket or in my bag. While waiting for the fireworks show, I went to the nearest souvenir shops to get myself a jacket and some character pins. I remember getting a lot of Mickey-shaped pens and candies that my mom kept putting back because I was so in love with everything in the shop! HAHAHA!

Wouldn`t Disneyland be a perfect venue for a date? You get to share you childhood craziness with the love of your life and you get to see their childhood craziness too! Who knows, you might even have the same favorite movie or habit when watching one! :”>
(I am blushing at the moment while doing this blog hihi)

Avenue de Champs-Élysées


Here`s the start of my Audrey Hepburn-like trip around Paris: The Avenue de Champs-Élysées houses shops such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Elie Saab, Tiffany & Co. and the like. Diamonds are a girl`s best friend, isn`t it? ;)

Ladurée


Since the start of the macarons` fame, I have been on the lookout for the perfect ones! So far, I haven`t been disappointed with the brands that have it here in the country but they say that Ladurée has the best ones since they paved the way for the birth of these delicious treats! I bet a few of those, together with some tea or French-pressed coffee, and a long day around Avenue de Champs-Élysées will surely give me the perfect Audrey Hepburn experience!

La Tour Eiffel


Paris is known to be the ‘city of love’ for they say that French is the language of love. Many couples dream to have a kiss on top of the Eiffel Tower or for the bachelors or bachelorettes, they dream to stroll around the park and find ‘the one’ that will sweep them off of their feet.

As for my case, I have NO idea as to whom I`ll be sharing that magical kiss with on that tower but I`ve had my prospects. ;) Close your eyes and think of Tinkerbell flying around with pixie dust then a curtain of flowers open and behold, the Eiffel Tower. You`re walking hand in hand with the man of your dreams just like in the movies where the wind perfectly plays with your hair and you don’t trip while wearing your heels. You walk further into the park but he stops and pulls your hand, making you stop as well then pulls you into his arms and holds your face with warmth. He looks around your face and you know that he looks at you with perfection. You start to blush as he slowly kisses your forehead, the tip of your nose and before you know it, the magical kiss has begun and ‘forever’ has unfolded before you.




So much for all that daydreaming. See you guys soon!
Bonsoir!
