The city of light, the city of love – once in your lifetime, you HAVE to see it, so why not for your honeymoon? Believe me, it IS magical – still, despite the traffic and the tourists…
One of my own fondest memories is arriving at the Gare du Nord via night train with my then-fiance, now-husband, at the crack of dawn – way too early to check into our hotel. We left our luggage at the station and walked. We watched the sun rise in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
We wandered the streets as the city was waking up. It was a rare epiphany: we felt the soul of the city… beyond the Eiffel Tower.
Yes, of course, you should visit the Eiffel Tower, that’s a “must” for all tourists, but there is so much more! The Palace du Louvre with its world-famous museum and the glass pyramid in front …
… the newly restored and reopened Notre-Dame cathedral, one of the greatest Gothic masterpieces…
The Seine with its many bridges (and don’t forget a boat tour on a bateau mouche – maybe at night..)
… the Palais Royal…
… and long strolls throught the St. Germain des Pres neighborhood.
This here is MY Paris… quiet, romantic, and steeped in history.
Bon voyage!
