Earlier this year, i spent a long weekend visiting Paris with my sister. I didn't really know what to expect (apart from the obvious eiffel tower and croissants galore) as I don't know of many people who have visited Paris and had never before been that interested in visiting.
After visiting Paris is can truly and honestly say i adore it. The architecture, the food, the way of life there (this list could go on forever) are just all perfect to me and I have been dreaming to go back
the second I landed back in England.
Day 1: The Eiffel Tower
On the Friday, we woke up in the comfiest bed I had ever slept in and walked out into the balcony to watch the Parisians outside starting their morning whilst we scoffed a pan au chocolat or two. Then after getting ready we walked 15minutes from our hotel to arrive at the Eiffel Tower! Now, I don't know if this was just me but i really underestimated the size of the Eiffel Tower, it's insanely huge and the moment i set my eyes on it i was in awe. And obviously as soon as we got there we had to climb to the top.

After walking around and staring at the Eiffel tower with amazement we thought it was only right to climb all the stairs to the top. We bought our tickets and proceeding up the stairs that went on and on and on. It was a fairly hot day and there were obviously loads of people around us also making there way to the top so a break now and again was a must. The Eiffel tower had different floors one containing a restaurant and gift shop!

After making are way back down, we sat on the large grass area around the Eiffel tower and had a quick picnic and sunbathed for a couple of hours.
We then went on our way and walked to Les Invalides, the military museum and tomb of Napoleon, the outside of the building so breathtaking to look at especially in the glistening sun.
