The Dream Trip: Paris

Paris - the dream romantic destination. Paris not only the most romantic city in the world. It is a metropolitan area with almost 12 million inhabitants. Paris is one of the famous European Fashion destinations, it is also world popular for its gastronomy and high education quality.

But there is more to Paris than this. The "city of lights" has a long and spectacular history. But now it is not the time to talk about Napoleon or the Revolution. We are now discovering the beauty and magic of this cosmopolitan city. 

Did you ever wondered what does Paris stands for? it is not just a name, it has its specific signification. Paris comes from the name of a Gaulish tribe which inhabited the area during the Roman era. The tribe bared the name Parisii, meaning "working people". Don't you think that Paris has become now the city of the working people.

For us, the tourists, the Paris reality is not the nerve-cracking busy one. I was able to see all the busy traffic outside, leaning on a wide window at my Hotel Paris la Defense. The thing which fascinated me was how the ancient bits of the city cohabited with contemporary elements in architecture. It is strange, but however, it is classy. I was really amazed by the astounding monuments well preserved for ages now. 

When I was walking down the long boulevards and of course on Champs Ellyses I was imagining how all great figures such as Louis 14th and Napolean were heading down the same road. Magnificient.

I reckon that the best time to visit Paris is spring or summer. But definitely on Christmas. You should not miss all the boulevards beaming with lights, all the sparkles. It is worth.

Chose your hotel carefully. Make sure you spend your money wise. In hotels like Hotel Paris Arc de Triomphe have a lot to offer you at decent prices. So pick a hotel that is in area you would like to spend most of your time in. For example if you are an arts-fan, book a hotel on Montmartre. You will be surrounded by artists and their tripods. and the breathtaking view will inspire you to be creative yourself.
