Paris, France !!
With an abundance of things to see and do in Paris, every time I go to Paris, I never tire of the architecture. Below is the majestic Arc de Triomphe located at one end of the Champs-Elysees. This monument honors those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Beneath lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
Shown here is The Eiffel Tower, the River Seine, and the Le Pont Alexandre III bridge. In prior trips to Paris I've gone to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and let me tell you, it certainly has a lot of movement in it.
The infamous Love Lock Bridge. It is a symbol of the permanence of your relationship by putting a lock on the bridge and throwing the key away. Being the city of love and with the abundance of tourism, the city has had to remove all the locks as the weight of the locks threatened to collapse the bridge. The picture on the right shows the Musée d’Orsay which showcases impressionist art, and my husband throwing away the key to our lock.
Every time I visit Paris I am drawn to the rich architectural gothic style of the Notre-Dame Cathedral (front view)

I've shown this picture before, but most people have a "favorite dish", and I stand solid that no one makes Creme Bruele like the French do!
Follow me ...
Great photos! i want to see Creme Bruelee done that way! Have you ever taken the "free" walking tour, there? It's not too long and very informative. Really, one could probably live in Paris for a decade and still find new things to do on a daily basis. The architecture is amazing, of course!
When I was coming back from Spain, I got stuck in Paris for two days between flights, with no lodging reservations. I hadn't really ever planned on visiting Paris and the first day was hell, The second day was amazing, though! I took that walking tour in Spanish, because the English tour line was absurd.
The people were also very hospitable, contrary to what I had been told.
It looks like you had a good time! Did you go up to the observation deck on the Eiffel Tower?
You are absolutely right. Each and every time I go there I find new things to do and appreciate Paris more and more. I've done several walking tours (in English :) and found them fantastic! We used to go "just" to watch the lighting of the Champs Elysee at Christmas (then we found Singapore beat Paris).
Too funny that your first day was hell in Paris, that's gotta be memorable lol. I've always enjoyed riding the metro in any city to be fun, but Paris is unique. Oh, and yes I've been on the observation deck on the Eiffel Tower. Incredible view, but I certainly am not a fan of the movement I felt.
That first day... My return ticket to the US from Spain was cancelled, due to a change in the airline schedule and they changed everything. I ended up dragging my luggage across the entire face of Paris on foot, looking for a hostel that, as it turns out, had permanently closed. This really nice guy showed me another that was close by, despite the language barrier!
I ended up spending the next day with Spanish speakers and had a blast! Such a good time, in fact, that I fell asleep in the airport terminal and almost missed the flight. Nobody bothered to wake me up for boarding!
The best part was asking for directions in a random pastry shop, though. The ladies only spoke French and, of course, I spoke Spanish and English...
Awesome story! My first time in France was memorable too. I separated from the group to head back to the hotel on my own (I was a teenager) Of course I got off at the wrong metro stop. Being Canadian, I'm embarrassed to say that on a good day, my French sounds like a wounded animal. The stop I did get off led me to the nastiest, scariest, back alley I've ever come across. Lucky for me, I did recognize a street vendor and he was kind enough to take me back to the hotel. Mmmmm random pastry shops in Paris!
Haha. I was told Canadian French sounds weird to the French, too, so that couldn't have helped! The metro mix-up sounds frightening. That was amazing of the vendor to help!
The lades in the random pastry shop were hilarious. I didn't speak French, and none of them spoke English or Spanish. I had asked how to get to Notre Damme. They didn't really know how to get there on foot, either, and were discussing it. Then one of them said (in French) "I'm a lady," looked at one of the others and said "you're a lady," shrugged and said what I can only guess is "which lady are you looking for?" At least, that was what I understood of it. I understood just enough! They were awesome :-)
Beautiful animal picture. And other pictures are awesome. Excellent photography. Great job. Have a wonderful journey.

I wish you all the happiness in your life

Paris the place of love. I can't wait for December because I will be spending this year Christmas in Paris. Paris is one of the place I always dream to see. And in December that dream will be a reality
I'm really excited for you! At Christmas, I'm totally in my happy place just walking the Champs Elysee with all it's Christmas lights. It is stunning. Thanks for looking at my post :)
Paris is a wonderful city, I met my fiance here and your post brought back some great memories! We also took a day trip outside of Paris to Monet's garden in Giverny. We only spent 5 days in France and barely scratched the surface, so I hope to return soon!
I have to agree that Paris is a wonderful city, I've lost count how many times I've been there and the outlying areas, and I too feel I've barely scratched the surface. Well said :)
Paris is a beauty. I love this place The Eiffel. Its so romantic specially when the light glitters. I can never get enough of it
I'm with you that I too can never get enough of Paris!
Love Paris ❤!!!!
Everytime I visit this city is a beautiful escape for me!
Thank you @steem-samiam and if you visit us here, I will take you for the best Creme Brulee in Greece at least 😘 😘 😘!!!!
Whoa, the Creme Brulee in Greece I will totally take you up on!
Gorgeous shots! I visited Paris when I was young. Climbing the Eiffel Tower and looking over the city was something I'll never forget. One of my favorite places I visited was Sacré Coeur and the many châteaux.
Thanks for the compliment!
