Shopping

As most of you probably know, Paris is the often called the capital
of Fashion. When it comes to shopping, it definitely is an even
more amazing city! Besides all the known attractions like Galeries
Lafayette (second picture) you can also find some amazing vintage
shops where you can get anything from lovely floral dresses to levis
denim shorts.

One saturday afternoon, a friend and me went to some shops I read
about online and I really enjoyed looking through all the clothes!

(By the way, yes I had to add some food pictures to this post..
I mean who doesnt like to stop for coffee when going shopping?)

Here are the adresses of the stores that
we liked the best:

Freep'star
20 rue de Rivoli
75002 Paris

Hippy Market
21 rue du Temple
75004 Paris

Kiliwatch
64 rue Tiquetonne
75002 Paris

Paris by night

If you ever visit Paris you have to make sure to stop by
the Eiffel tower at night! Once an hour it starts sparkling
and it is just beautiful. One evening, when me and some
friends went to Montmartre to have dinner, we decided
to visit the Eiffel tower after to see it by night.

We had to wait for around 30 minutes when we
arrived but if was definitely worth it!

Random photos

 

   

 

Here are just some random pictures from Paris that
I still found! They pretty much describe my time in
Paris... shopping and sightseeing (the first picture
shows a little part of a dress I bought there).

Of course not :) But the other two pictures were taken
during a little sightseeing tour around the Opera area
in Paris, where the EF school is located as well!

If you wanna see what the school looks like click
HERE to see the post about it that I did.

The castle of Versailles

A few weeks ago I made a post about my trip to Versailles.
But one week before I left, I went again with another friend
who had not been there yet and also to take a full tour
through the castle. The first visit, we unfortunatly did
not have enough time to see everything !

I have always been quite interested in french history
and of course Marie Antoinette! So I was really
excited when I saw her pictures and where she
actually lived in the castle of Versailles.

Definitely another recommendation of mine!

Eiffel tower picnic

For this post I want to tell you about another favorite
afternoon of mine. Having a picnic at the Eiffel Tower!

If you have ever been to Paris before, you know that
the Eiffel Tower is surrounded by a pretty big and nice
park area where you can always find a lot of people
meeting their friends, making music, taking pictures...
or simply laying in the sun and having a little picnic
just like we did!

Plus the weather was perfect for it :)
Doesn't it even look great on the pictures? 

Au revoir Paris

Almost five days ago I had to say "au revoir" to my favorite city.
I planned on blogging again earlier but school started on monday
so unfortunatly I've been quite busy with it already. Anyway!

I had some really great last days in Paris and still have a bunch
pictures I want to show you. Above you can see what I bought
on friday to bring home for my family: Macarons!

The three weeks I spent in Paris with EF were amazing.
I really enjoyed school, the activities and of course the city!
If your planning on going abroad, I would definitely recommend
EF to you, especially for summer trips because it is the perfect
combinination of learning the language and exploring the city.

Talk to you soon!

City view

Part of my To Do list for Paris was to go up on the Arc De Triomph.
It wasnt planned to go there by night but the line to buy a ticket
was actually quite long, so the sun already started going down
when I was up, but seeing all the lights made it even better!
