Le Premier Jour a Paris!

There is simply no way to describe ma joie de vivre maintenant! Paris est vraiment la plus belle ville du monde. I am in constant awe of how breath-taking every rue every musee even every patisserie! I will try to summarize the wonderful evetns since je suis arrive.

Before I begin, un moment to dit how much I love AirFrance! If only every airlines was as magnifique as AirFrance, le monde would be a better place! What other airline gives free wine et champagne, pain au chocolat, et mini baguettes!

We arrived at went to the hotel, The West End Hotel, which is located right off the Champs Elysee and right near the George V! Which makes it easy to drop in for afternoon tea with mom this week! Also close to Louis Vuitton. Mais - if you know me, you know I am not vraiment a fan of LV. Mais the Paris magasin is quite amazing so it is bon. Apres checking in, we took a long walk to apartement! Down the Champs, through la place de la concorde, down the rue de rivoli, and all the way to le marais where we stopped at mon rue! The apartement is everything I dreamed and more! Imagine the most adorable, quaint, French apartement you can....that is mon apartement! The stairs up are these black marble-ish escaliers (one of my favorite french words) and they are all windy! They lead to a little courtyard full of red flowers, where you walk through to get to the other stairs, that lead you to la porte! Caroline was there, so she showed me around! The petit salon when you enter was a table and these cute chairs where we will sit in the morning and eat our croissants et cafe! The kitchen has this adorable blue tile and is so petit and parfait! The two bedrooms follow, with the bathroom at the end! All the rooms have french windows that look out over the cute courtyard of fleurs! I was going un peu insane over how adorable it is! I cannot believe I get to live there! I will prends les photos bentoit! Caroline gave me the key - which is this giant ancient looking gold key! It is so french and perfect! I bought a gold eiffel tower key chain today to match it! Ohhhh j'adore Paris!

Apres, we went back to the Champs pour crepes, bien sur, and then did some sightseeing for mere et pere who have never been here before! Mom made us get on the les cars rouges, the big buses that take you around. It is the least-french thing you could ever do in Paris. But my mom is obsessed with them, so we had to go because she kept complaining until we did. I thought it would be complete doom, but actually it was not that terrible. Not as bad as the buses in New York! It was a great way to see all the beautiful views and architecture of Paris, and you get to ride right up to la Tour which is magnifique if you are obsessed with it like moi.

I do not know what it is exactly about la tour eiffel, but I can honestly say it is the most breath taking and beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am completely obsessed with the tour. During the day, the background of the blue sky and clouds on a clear day leaves you breathless. At night, when the lights are glowing, it outshines any star in the sky. And when it sparkles....oh la la, je n'ai pas les mots! It makes my heart stop! Seriously! It is so architecturally different from any other thing and it is just so amazing. I could spend an entire day just sitting in front of the tour, with a baguette and a bottle of wine and it would probably be my favorite day of ma vie. If for some reason you have not seen la tour you need to get your priorities in order and get to Paris because it will give your life new meaning!

After obsessing about la tour we got off the bus and popped into a couple places magnifique! Les galleries lafayette (la plus belle magasin du monde) et the Ritz Paris (to show pere the bar Hemingway) were the highlights for moi! After a short cab to Saint Germain, we had a 10pm diner with Caroline at les deux magots! How much more francais can you get? We walked Caroline home past Notre Dame at night and around the Seine home! Un premier jour magnifique!
