Most of my life I dreamt about Paris being the most fashionable, classy, beautiful, and memorable city in the world. My vision of Europe was PARIS! But, when I went there for the first time back in 2002, I was somehow disappointed and the only explanation I can figure out is that my expectations were way too high, or that I was not ready to “meet” Paris.
Having been there a few times now in the company of my French born husband made me appreciate Paris a lot more. You can never have enough of visiting Paris.
This time, Erik and I had the perfect time. The whole setting was great. On the first day we visited Musee D’orsay and had the unique experience of visiting the “De Cezzane a Picasso” exhibition. It was amazing, but we were not allowed to take photos there. I truly liked the Museum and found it more “friendly user” than the Louvre itself.
On that same day we went for a stroll along the Seine enjoying the pleasant sunshine and the scenery.
On day two, we woke up very enthusiastic to hire one of the new bicycles available for rent everywhere

French Gatoin Paris, but unfortunately we didn’t manage to understand how the rental system worked, and we sadly gave up. Later we found out that it is really simple, and the only thing we needed was a credit card. We could have rented the bike in one place and left it at somewhere else, then picking up another one somewhere else, and so on. It seems that everyone, from locals to tourists loved this great and environmentally friendly invention called “Velib”.
Our plan B was then to have a walk around and meet some friends for lunch, who took us to a truly French restaurant very close to the Wax Museum (Grevin). The strongly recommended restaurant is called something Chartie. Fantastic food reasonable priced. On that same day we also had dinner with some French friends at their parent’s home and it was really nice.
To make my holidays even more special, Erik took me to Eurodisney! But this in a story for a new blog entry…..
