The city of love is where I spent one day in the two weeks I was in France. We woke up extra early to get a glimpse of as much as possible in just one day. Oh how naive we were, in the end we managed to visit the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées. Although, I must admit we were a tad slow with all the walking as we were with a group of eight people.
After a one hour drive, we saw the signs saying 'Paris' on the highroad. I was very excited as I have been in Paris only once when I was about six years old. First thing we had to get rid of the cars as it is almost impossible to drive around in a car from spot to spot due to the big amount of people. Once we got the cars parked we warked to the subway. When I saw a map of the whole subway system I was amazed. The system was so big and there were so many lines. It was crazy.

After about twelve stops the subway arrived at the stop of the Eiffel Tower. The subway was filled with people, most of them tourists. I loved how we were in Paris, but all I could hear were different languages. German, English, Spanish I loved how there were so many different people in one city. As we were walking towards the Eiffel Tower I could see its summit stand out above the small buildings. I was very excited when I saw it, as there were so many people standing underneath it, waiting to go up.
We wanted to go up, but the lines were so long which would give us very little time to visit the rest. So we decided not to go up, but to picknick on the little field in front of (or behind) the Eiffel Tower. We had brought some sandwiches which were delicious. After this we started walking towards the Arc d'Thriomphe. Before we could reach it we walked passed the Champs-Élysées and spent some time here. In my previous post I did a haul on what I bought there. After having spent some time in the shops we took the subway to the parking lot and drove back to the peaceful, quiet village.
