Travel: Paris Day 5

Our last day in Paris. We took the metro towards Le Bastille and walked through le Marais, a lovely neighbourhood with great shops. Visited Place de Vosges, a nice hidden gem. Le Marais has quite a lot of hidden small gardens, certainly worth a visit!

Boxing day started in La Défense. We first did a spot of shopping in the huge mall there. Bought some stuff at Sephora.

Travel: Paris Day 3

On Christmas Day we first visited le Sacré Coeur and Montmartre. There was a little Christmas market going on there.

Travel: Paris Day 2

Our second day in Paris mainly consisted out of shopping. After breakfast we headed to the area behind the Opéra and started off in H&M. What a difference with the shops here, everything is so clean and tidy there. It really feels like being in a posh boutique.

Travel: Paris Day 1

On 23 December we left for Paris to spend the Christmas days there. Since there were problems with the trains the days before, we left insanely early and of course, the trains never were more on time. ;-)
We arrived in Paris a bit after noon and checked into our hotel. Hotel Chalgrin is very much recommended. It's a beautiful, boudoir sort of hotel, ideal for a couple of nights with the man or woman you love.
The old man who welcomed us was a bit eccentric to say the least. :-)

Merry Christmas!!!

Tomorrow morning, if all goes well with the trains, I'll be off to Paris for 5 days with my boyfriend to spend the Christmas days over there. It's a very special trip for us and we found a unique hotel located at 2 minutes from the Champs Elysées.
I will write a travel report when I'm back but in the mean time ...
