The day begun with a visit to Fragonard Parfumeur. I got my self a French perfume! :] I'm so excited to use it. I can't wait for it to become my signature scent. I have never fallen in love with a scent before. Paris is the city of love. I fell in love with my first perfume, EVER! :] Afterwards, we had a free day. Besides the cabaret excursion that night (which I opted not to go to), we have all day to ourselves.
Rina, Amanda, Tatiana, Sharon and I all ended up spending the day together. Our first stop, because we were around the area, was Galleries Lafayette. We basically just went around and was able to say we went in the Galleries. We then decided to visit Notre Dame, go to Laduree and get some French macaroons, hunt for crepes and take pictures by the Arc de Triomphe in the daylight. And we did it in that order. The five of us figured out the Parisian metro, which I absolutely adore. It was so exciting to be in it. Never have I been so happy to be in the metro. It was sooo…artsy. There were street musicians playing music in the train and on the tunnels to get to the platforms. There were works of art everywhere! It was so interesting to be riding it. And it's also not that hard to figure out, at least in my opinion.
Our first stop was Notre Dame. I LOVE Notre Dame. I was in awe of it. It simply took my breath away. The pictures I got of the church does not give justice to how it looked inside. As we walked around the cathedral, the organ was playing which just made the most perfect atmosphere. We went to Madeline street afterwards and walked all the way to Laduree and got some French macaroons. It was all Sharon's idea which I bought into. And I'm glad I did. I have never had macaroons like this and am absolutely craving it. They were expensive but sooo worth it. We walked towards Champs Elysees from there in order to get to the Arc. It was quite a walk. But it was alright because the view was interesting and nice. We also had crepes along the way. Walking along Champs Elysees is so distracting! I don't think a girl can walk straight down to the Arc without getting distracted by the shops and whatnot. We headed back to the hotel afterwards because they all needed to get ready for the cabaret.
While they were in the cabaret that night, I met up with Anna! We walked all the way to Sacre Coure, which was kind of a walk from where we met up but it was totally worth it. Most amazing view of Paris, in my opinion. I'm so glad we decided to go there. It was totally worth it. Special shout out to you. I apologize for making you late for dinner but I'm glad we got to see each other. I was craving Asian food that night so I had Chinese at a restaurant near our hotel and then I called it a night. It was my last night of travelling and the exhaustion dawned to me.
Back to London tomorrow!
