You know, we are always in Turkey and in Turkey. We need some diversity in countries, don't we? And this variety has arrived! My old dream came true. Many girls have this dream, and finally we were able to make it come true. Namely - to fly to Paris, this wonderful and romantic city. And of course we went for a reason - because we wanted to see our brother. The flight lasted about 2.5 hours, departing from the city of Antalya. Next, since the airport was located a little further from the city, we needed to take a train. Having finally found the station and the train we needed, we relaxed looking at the view outside the window. Half an hour passed, and finally we are here in the picturesque city of Paris. Before settling in, we had to meet the person for whom we came here (my brother). Especially for this, we found a cozy cafe and ordered tea there. We were very tired from the road, so me and my sister fell asleep on the chairs of the cafe. Maybe an hour passed and we woke up. The brother was still not there. Some time passed and we finally met our brother and headed to the apartment.

Our house had two floors with a rather cozy design. Since we were too tired to explore the city, we left the next day. The next day we immediately went to research. It was cold autumn rainy weather, so not a very good time of year to travel to Paris. The fingers fell off along with the toes. But we had no way out, because we only came for two days.

And our first destination is the famous Louvre. Yes, because the Mona Lisa painting itself is stored!! We chose the subway as a method of transportation, because it is everywhere here. After carefully following the stations, we finally heard our name. By the way, that's what it was called - Louvre station. After leaving, we saw a beautiful interior of the subway. In the walls there were recesses in which there were ancient artifacts, and under them there was an inscription saying what they are. Surprisingly, all the stories about how dirty Paris is didn't come true. The city was surprisingly clean and we didn't see a single rat (only one, and he looked like Ratatouille). While we were in search of the Louvre, we came across a huge, majestic, elegant building. As we understood the Louvre near her. Going inside, we saw a man magically playing the double bass. It was so beautiful, but no one threw any money into his hat. So strange.

The central courtyard was huge, so much so that I had to make a panorama to photograph it all. The building inside which he was was simply huge, extremely majestic and it looked like a work of art. Each piece is made with such precision and delicacy. So royal. After walking to the end, we finally saw one of the main wonders of Paris. This huge glass structure stood in the grand square while the rain dripped on it little by little. Drops flowed down this incomprehensible, alien triangle. The cold, wet concrete reflected the entire landscape, which looked fabulous like in all those Paris movies. I imagine what's inside. There were a lot of people here, even in autumn. Cold and rain created a terrible frost. But you know, the view was worth it. When we asked if we could enter the museum, we were told no. To be honest, I didn't even understand why. I was so hoping that we could go inside and I could see Mona Lisa.

After we were disappointed in the Louvre we continued our walk by walking forward. While walking, we saw perfectly cut trees to a square. So interesting, I've never seen this before.

When you walk around Paris in the rain, everything around you is so mysterious. All buildings around look like in a fairy tale. Everything is so chic.

After a few minutes we came to the bridge that leads across the river. And the name of the river, if I'm not mistaken, is Seine. Yes, that is the popular river. The bridge looks so magical at night, with yellow lights on both sides. You walk along it and everything seems so fabulous. The houses on both sides look like dollhouses. A stormy autumn river flows along the street without showing either the end or the beginning. The dark blue color draws you deeper and deeper.

Bye bye everyone!! 🗼🏛️

Sort:  

I think they must have some strong reason to stop them from going to the museum. Of course it is raining but all the buildings look very beautiful. Haha I liked that one mouse who saw you.

Maybe they have a reason, or maybe it's just winter idk. They allowed only people who had reserved tickets for a long time in advance.
Hahah, i still believe it was Ratatouille 😂

!LOL

Did you hear about the dyslexic pimp?
He bought a warehouse.

Wow, Paris is really a very beautiful city, I really want to go there, seeing the beauty of every corner of the city that you share makes me really can't wait to go there

Yass, the beauty of the city is pure true. You should definitely go there, you'll have one of the most amazing trip of your life.

Too bad you didn't catch that nice weather to make your stay even more enjoyable but Paris is beautiful all the time, despite the weather and the season!

Yeah, it's a bit sad that we didn't.
I bet it would be even nicer with good weather, but i guess it has a special charm during rain. Listen how good it sounds - ✨"Rainy Paris"✨😃

Ha! That's a nice way of thinking and name to the overall mood 😉

This place is incredible. I spent just over seven hours inside it so I could see everything.

You mean inside the Louvre? I would love to know how it looks from inside. İf we could get inside i probably would be there for seven hours too 😁

I was so invested reading this and watching each picture into detail. I must say, this is such an amazing sight to behold

Awwww, thanks. İt's such a pleasure for a writer to hear that someone that much liked my work.
About the sight, I cannot disagree.

Paris and its mice, I've read a lot about that haha, loved the pictures and glad you were able to go, even if it was a bad time, your inner nila must be happy!<3

That's right people are always like "Paris is so dirty". Such a bullshit. İ
n general it was a great experience, even though the weather was not really good. Yeah İnner nila must be always happy. Btw, can you explain what is that? 😅

Париж - неймовірне місто! Я хоч разом з вами віртуально побуваю в ньому!)))

Авжеж, завжди було і буде.
Бажаю вам колись з'їздити туди реально! ❤️

It sounds like you're enjoying these wonderful scenery. Blue sky and a flowing stream can indeed create a beautiful atmosphere, especially in the evening. And Paris is known for its stunning beauty and iconic landmarks.

Indeed, how can you not enjoy it when you come to one of the most beautiful cities on earth. It is as beautiful as it is described.
