France!

Today's post is going to be all about the city of romance... Paris, France!

Being well known for it's romantic atmosphere and being one of the cities with the most recognizable architecture, Paris is a haven for anyone intrigued by it's iconic beauty as well as the exquisite and unique cuisine, the many valuable and highly admirable artworks and the go-to place for finding new and stylish fashion trends.

The most iconic sites in Paris include The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, The Louvre, The Pantheon, Arc De Triomphe and Disneyland Paris Resort. These places definitely all play a role in enriching the culture of the city and the country.

The Eiffel Tower is the most well-recognized site and major tourist attraction in Paris as well as being the tallest structure there too. The Eiffel Tower is built beside the River Seine in the city and attracts thousands of locals and tourists each year. There are staircases and lifts available for the public to use, after purchasing tickets at the ticket booth, to ascend the tower. There are also restaurants built within the tower which you can dine at... But get in quick, as spots fill up fast!

A popular activity to partake in whilst in Paris is attending Cabarets, which are evening events that include dinner and a spectacular show at classic venues. The ever so popular Moulin Rouge shows on a regular basis and has spectacular costumes as well as featuring professional performers. Because of the popularity, these shows sell out super quick, so just like anything in Paris... Get in quick!
