Paris Paris!
Basically, we had two full days in Paris. We did not opt to
use the Metro services and we decided to do our Paris Tour on foot! – this
helped us save a lot on transportation budget because it was €17.50/pax for a
daily pass! Before starting the tour, make sure you get hold of a Paris City Map (normally you can get them for free at the airport).
What to do and where to go if you have two days in Paris?
Day 1
- Arch de Triomphe du Carrousel
- Musée du Lourve, La Pyramide – My cousin, sister and I entered
the museum and paid €12.00/pax just to see the famous Monalisa painting.
Trust me it’s worth it! Tips: For those students who are studying in the EU
(including UK), apparently, you can enter the museum for free! We had our lunch at the square. You can get cheap crepes and sandwiches across the road.
- Palais-Royal
- Obélisque de la Concorde
- Champs-Élysées – this street is a shopping paradise and
most major outlets are located here including Louis Vuitton!
- Arch de Triomphe de I’Étoile – a very busy roundabout and
a must-visit whenever you are in Paris!
- Palais de Chaillot – a great spot for a really
beautiful view of Tour Eiffel.
- Tour Eiffel – your trip will not be complete without the
Eiffel Tower! Even though this is my second time here, Eiffel Tower never
failed to mesmerise me!
- Walk along Seine River – it is the most economical and
perhaps a healthy option if compared to the river cruise which is around
€15.00/pax.
- Musée d’Orsay

Day 2
- Pont des Art – the `love locks’ bridge. For those in love
and if you believe in securing your love this is the bridge not to be missed! You can either purchase padlocks from the by-seller stationed on
the bridge or bring your own custom padlocks!
- Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris – your visit will not be complete
if you don’t pay a visit to this awesome gothic church! Entrance is free and
always assure to turn off your camera flash whenever you plan to take pictures
in the cathedral.
- Hôtel de Ville – the city hall with great architecture
design.
- Tour Saint-Jacques
- Place Vedôme – major outlets such as Chanel, Cartier, Louis
Vuitton, Dior is located here.

| It's a Sunday and everything is close even at Place Vedôme |
Tips: There
are lots of by-seller selling souvenirs around all the touristy spot. I would
advise you to buy it from them because they sell those souvenirs for a fairly
reasonable price if compared to those sold in shops. Beware of teenagers asking
for signature and donation for some kind of petition! THIS IS A SCAM!
Pretty much
this summed up our two days tour in Paris. Make sure to try the famous macaroons and
drink lots of wine whenever you are in Paris. You can get great quality
macaroons especially at Pierre
Hermé. Please try to stop by any La Cure
Gourmande to get a taste of good quality French candies, chocolates and biscuits!
Reminder: Most shops in Paris are
close
on Sunday!
