It has been a long-time dream of mine to go to Paris, France. This summer, my husband made that dream a reality and took me to Paris for five days after our vacation on the Cote D'Azure. After being apprehensive of the language barrier and rumors we'd heard about the Parisians themselves, we very happily found that Paris is such an amazing city. The people are genuinely so polite and friendly if you just show enough courtesy to say hello, thank you and please in their native language. A little effort on our part really went such a long way.

We spent almost the entire visit doing the most tourist-y things we could, and we got to see a lot of this amazing city through those eyes. But we'd really like to go back and avoid the crowds to do a more relaxed visit in this city. I think we'd really love it even more if we did...

Something to put back on the list for a future trip!!
