I consider myself definitely a francophile, and
even more so, a Paris-ophile. Each time I've been there something in my heart
sings (thankfully - for others - the singing doesn't make its way up to my
throat where it would inevitably die a strangled croaky death before assaulting
the ears of passersby), and I've been fortunate enough to have lived there on
multiple occasions. Plus, going to Fete Paradiso recently inspired a nostalgic
mood leading to some browsing amongst my old photos from lovely days spent
there. As I was looking through all of those memories, I started thinking about
my favorite things in one of my favorite cities. And so, a series within a
series - here's Paris je t'aime Part I - Tourity Must-Dos for Travel Tuesdays!
Touristy must-dos
The
Sacre Coeur and walking around
Montmartre: an absolutely beautiful church set up on high in the midst of
the only "village" left in Paris. The church area is now more of a fun
picnic/tourist/hang out destination (in fact, watch out for broken beer
bottles) rather than anything very religious, but to enter the church you still
have to keep your shoulders covered - and gentlemen, hats off please!
