Mod Travel: Parisian Delights

  
The city of lights and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, in my opinion. Tree lined boulevards brimming with romantic cafes and restaurants, each housing their own distinct twist on Paris life. Strolling through cobbled streets... shopping and nightlife thats hard to beat. Why not take your Valentine and follow your heart to Paris.

I did once. I loved wandering through the Latin quarter of St Germain and in the evening, eating the most delicious steak whilst listening to live jazz. Bon Apetite! You can catch a glimpse of the stunning views of the city from the top of Montmarte. Standing proudly here is the Sacre Coeur Basillica. For fun, why not get one of the old artists to paint your picture.

An all time romantic classic. Adore the grand public monuments such as The Champs Elysee's and the Eiffel Tower. Climb to the top just before 6pm and catch the light display. The list goes on. Paris...Je t'aime!   
                     

Travel Tip: Low cost flights  are so easy to book online and if you catch the right weekend you can grab yourself a bargain.

Travel Must: Invest in a city guide book. Paris is separated into districts and can be tricky to find your bearings...whilst balancing a croissant and a map.

Hidden Gem: Rue Montorgueil - We stumbled upon this, one of the oldest pedestrianised street markets. Selling some of the best fresh produce in Paris, the shopkeepers are famous for their enthusiasm and singing!

Must Read: Stephen Clarke's Paris Revealed . He writes with humor and knowledge about the city he calls home. 

What to wear. This article should help.
