29th November
It was stated to be a relatively clear day so we decided to head up over to the Sacré Cœur. Last time I went, Sunbear and I parted with 5 Euros due to the African men and their string bracelets. This time I was a little more vigilant and walked super fast past them, although to be fair they were also occupied with their tourists already. This one guy was surrounded by 4 men, the poor guy. The view from the top was amazing although visibility was a little affected by the fog.
It was a Saturday so the area in Printemps and Galeries Lafayette was jam packed with people. A crazily amount of people. I hate crowds and I don't understand how anyone can shop in such conditions.
The upside down Christmas tree.
The day ended at Jardin des Luxembourg. French children are dressed so nicely and are so so adorable.
I ordered soup of the day, although I had no idea what it was (and no one actually told me). Nonetheless, it was delicious.
Crying because these all look so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAlso that soup looks like pumpkin or sweet potato or something. It looks so good though, whatever it is! :)
It didn't seem too much like pumpkin or sweet potato, but tbh I couldn't really pinpoint what it was. It kind of reminded me of potato and leek except for the colour
DeleteLooks like you had fantastic clear weather !!! Those shops are crazy busy, it's completely distracting just because you get pushed around so much. Hope you have a fantastic trip... can't wait to hear more :)
ReplyDeleteJust for the one day I was there though! And then the temperatures just dropped quite low, now in warmer London.
DeleteAhhh, jet lag is such a pain the ass! But looks like you're having a great time so far :3
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I think I have kicked it now !
DeleteI loved Montmartre and the view from Sacre Coeur! Wow, they sell poultry with the feathers still on? Haha.
ReplyDeleteYes! It was quite disturbing to be honest.
DeleteParis looks so beautiful right now!
ReplyDeleteI always get carried away by photos of food... and these last two don't disappoint! Those galeries look so sumptuous, woah! I hate crowds myself, it's unbearable to share your personal space with dozens or hundreds of other individuals...
ReplyDeleteYes! I share the same sentiments, especially when other people have no regard for other people.
DeleteOh, I hope you enjoyed your time in Paris! These are lovely photos. And I see you went to the Galeries Lafayette. What did you think of the Christmas tree? :) x
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas tree was insanely cool!! Never seen anything like it before.
DeleteThese look great. You're getting me all hyped up, and I've heard many cautionary tales of the scammers in Paris. I'm actually quite worried about that because I'm a sucker and I'm worried I wouldn't be able to stand up to them. But I guess walking fast would be a great idea... I wonder what the locals do?
