Our first point of call on our first day of our European tour was the white cliffs of Dover. These cliffs are brilliant white and there are gulls hovering the entire cliff face by the sea.
We crossed the English channel via ferry to Calais where we then headed to Paris!
I don't think I can explain what Paris is like in words. The architecture, the history, the vibe of this beautiful city actually brought a tear to my eye.
We dropped our bags off at the renaissance hotel and proceeded to a quaint little restaurant for dinner. On our menu tonight was an entree of French onion soup, main of poached salmon with crispy skin and creamy mash, and to finish it off was a creme brûlée and wine.
We then headed off for a drive down the champes elyssee to see the sights of Paris by night fall. We saw the opera house infamous for phantom of the opera, the louvre, the arc de triomph, the ritz hotel where Diana spent her last hours, and finally we were treated to a show of spectacular lights upon the amazing Eiffel tower.
This first night in Paris was amazing. Such a beautiful city and we can't wait to see more of it tomorrow on our city sight seeing walking tour.
P.S. After trying to order some fries and a drink today I think my French could do with some practice lol.
Nice post. Paris is on my list of Top Ten Places I Have Visited
