Paris the Unforgettable
Paris is a beautiful city in the country of France, it is well known all around the world as the city of love. In this blog we will talk about what we observed in our trip to Paris.
People:
The people over there speak French. They really treat tourism, well some people are okay, but other persons maybe through all the year they se many tourists and they got really annoyed and just see you weird or treat you weird. Also we saw that people are really disgusting talking about how dirty they are, you can see trash anywhere and people doing poop in the streets stuff like that.
City:
The city is beautiful, the buildings are amazing they have a similar architecture that makes the city even more beautiful. It has a metro which makes is very interesting it is amazing how they transport, not to mention it is very fast. Paris has great historic places such as the Eiffel Tower, Versalles palace, Notre Dame, Mont-Martre and many more. It also has very interesting museums like the Louvre, the Musee du Orssay and more.
Places Visited
The places that we visited in Paris were:
Versalles Palace
Louvre Museum
Hard Rock Cafe
Champs Elysees
L’Arc de Triomphe
Notre Dame Cathedral
Seine River
Mont-Martre
Restaurants and Food:
The food over there is interesting, it has very different condiments than those we use here in America.The first day we ate at Hard Rock, they gave us chicken with smashed potato. Next days we tried to buy things that where representing of Paris. So we decided to eat a baguette, also there where crepes in every corner, by the way they were delicious. In the hotel we would eat breakfast. It was a buffet and we would have a very wide variety. There was thin pancakes, waffles, bread, and our favorite, croissants. There was a variety of cheese that was next to the salami.
Anecdote:
We had to take the stairs to get at the top of the Eiffel Tower, they were many steps, but we made trough all of them. When we got to the top and looked down the people just looked tiny, like ants, there was a part in the Eiffel Tower that had cristal floor so you could look down and act like you were stepping all over the people, it was crazy, the view was amazing.
