Paris is so beautiful! I have always wanted to go to the city of love. Your write a very interesting and amazing post about your trip there. I am glad you had fun
Paris is a magnificent place full of history and vibrancy…love evening in Paris!
Paris makes you fall in love with it. I wish to be there some time. But for now, thanks for the story and experience you shared here.
I love visiting Paris, and living the Parisian life. I haven’t done Disneyland in Paris as I have done the one in Tokyo multiple times. Champs Elysees is one of my favourite localities. <3 These are great tips, thanks for sharing.
I have still yet to go to Paris, but we are planning on doing so around Christmas this year.
I’ve been there 5 times already, still this city keeps surprising me with something new every time I visit. Paris is fantastic, and the french people are wonderful. Although definitely agreed with your tips for safety…pickpocketing is a big issue there, and also everyone should watch out for those guys “selling” keychains and souvenirs or lucky bracelets around the Eiffel Tower or at the Sacré Coeur.
I love Paris! I haven’t visited it yet but my cousin sent me lots of pics from Disneyland and would love to visit it soon as well xx Glad you had fun
I would love to visit Paris before I am getting too old. Seems a very very nice and sweet place…Lovely!!
wow, never been to Paris, but definitely on my bucket list. I love your photos its very engaging. I can’t wait to be there 🙂
beautiful Paris. Amazing photos and very enticing. I always love Disneyland, any kid go crazy about DisneY 🙂
Oh I would love to see a cabaret show at the Moulin Rouge that would be unreal! I have a cousin who lives in Paris, so I have been meaning to pay a visit! x
That looks like a packed 5-day trip. Paris has always been on my bucket list. But I love that you’ve shown me some new ideas to exploring Paris!
Paris is one of my favourite cities in the world, I still remember I couldn’t believe when I landed there for the first time few years back. Visited it multiple times after that but the feeling is the same every time. Your 5 day plan seems great. I loved watching cabaret at The Moulin Rouge, it was unrealistically breathtaking.
I always thought Paris as the end of all travel destination. People are upfront, open minded and drowned in culture. Though this place has gone through a lot these years, the Parisian keep looking forward. As Audrey Hepburn said, “Paris is always a good idea.” I like that.
absolutely wonderful. a friend and I are trying to do some crowdfunding to go to Paris next year. I though all your pictures were stunning
That’s really scary you got hacked 3 times in Paris! I’ve done all your recommendations, and totally agree with you. Disneyland Paris is a lot of fun, even if you go without kids! Versailles is beautiful, and one place you’ll never get tired of
Paris has been my dream destination for quite some time now! I want to go so badly! Your pictures are beautiful, everything is perfect and as In picture it in my mind, but it must have been horrible to be hacked, while in Paris! I also like your 5 day plan!!
I’m loving your blog!
I would definitely visit Paris very soon. I love that you have written a comprehensive guide.
Paris is such a vintage city and there is so much to see and experience. This 5 day itinerary includes all the major must see in one of the most beautiful cities of the world. We too were in Paris for a couple of days and covered most of the places listed by you except Disneyland. However there is so much more to explore in Paris and the surroundings, we need to get back soon.
Yes, Paris has lot many things to offer and you really need more days to cover nearby attractions too.
