Easter Mar 20 - Mar 23.. Paris - Geneva.. Let's Derive it !!

So, Wed Mar 19 comes a day before our easter break ,, i still didn't decide what to do on easter .. well financially i wasn't capable of doing anything till wed, anyways,, i booked my flight to Paris and my accommodation there,, since I'm obsessed with everything related to fashion i thought Paris would be perfect :) ..

Once I arrived, i grabbed a map to figure out where to go ..

Since most of the main landmarks that i really wanted to see are set along the Seine river ,, i decided to start my tour from notredame at the far east to the Eiffel tower at the far west ..

The line was too long in front of the entrance of notredame, so i decided to skip that and have a sit in a Parisian cafe :) in front of the cathedral

It can't get any more Parisian than this .. j'aime Paris !!
(This atmosphere reminded me of Suzzanne Vega's song Tom's diner)

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT :) IT'S HOT !!

The sky started to get cloudy, Bad news So i decided to tour the louvre museum till the weather gets better, i got confused at the beginnig i did not know were the main entrance was.. i entered the back courtyard first, i asked the officer where the entrance was.. He told me that the entrance is the pyramid infront !! i thought the glass pyramid was a landmark only !!

I went to the pyramid and entred the louvre, interms of the transition from the entrance to the musem i felt that i went back in time .. because of the architecture,, the entrance embraced the new modern and as you decend heading towards the museum which embraced the 16th century architecture ..

The Napoleon apartments at the Louvre, .....

A little glimps at the environment where the french general used to live in .... and will be lived by me in the future :)












Afterwards i headed towards the garden in front of the musem ..

obviously, you can't go to paris without seeing the eiffel tower ..
