Bonjour mes amies!
This Saturday, the 14th of September, finds me absolutely buzzing after my EuroStar trip to Paris! It's like a whirlwind of pink tulle and croissants, wouldn't you say? I always find Paris absolutely captivating, like stepping onto the stage of a grand ballet. I adore the architecture, the charming streets, and the energy - not to mention the absolutely incredible fashion scene.
As always, I've planned an exciting itinerary filled with delightful Parisian activities – ballet, shopping, and a sprinkle of sightseeing. But before we dive into the Parisian highlights, let me tell you all about my train journey!
A Chic Journey by EuroStarThe EuroStar is my absolute favourite way to travel, especially to France. It's like stepping into a chic Parisian salon on wheels! I love the speed, the comfort, and of course, the amazing views. This time, I chose to wear my most vibrant pink tutu and my go-to Parisian beret. You can never be overdressed for a journey, can you? I caught some admiring glances from my fellow passengers. Let's just say I've clearly managed to spark a little "Pink Tutu" inspiration on the EuroStar this morning.
Quick Tip for all my fellow travel lovers: Make sure to pack a book and maybe some cute, travel-sized treats to enjoy on your journey. The EuroStar truly feels like a little adventure in itself!
Ballet Beauty in the City of LightsAnd now for the main course - Ballet! This evening, I'm venturing to the magnificent Palais Garnier to see a breathtaking production of Swan Lake. I cannot wait to be swept away by the delicate choreography and the stunning costumes. There's something incredibly magical about a ballet performance in a historic Parisian theatre.
You see, darling, ballet is my passion. And sharing my love for it with the world, with my Pink Tutu adventures, is what makes me happy. I'm planning to write a whole blog post dedicated to Swan Lake later, but trust me - this one is going to be exquisite!
A Parisian Fashion SpreeOf course, a Parisian adventure is never complete without a little shopping spree. I’m going to wander around the enchanting streets of Montmartre, exploring the local boutiques and designer shops. The atmosphere here is so vibrant and unique, and I always manage to unearth some exquisite vintage finds and inspiring new additions to my pink tutu collection!
After my Parisian fashion haul, I’m going to stop by a charming French café and enjoy a delicious hot chocolate and a croissant – truly the perfect combination after a busy day!
A Touch of French CuisineNow, every Parisian day deserves a lovely meal, so tonight, we’ll be experiencing some real French culinary delights. We're booked into a cosy little restaurant called "Le Bistro de la Vie" that specializes in traditional French cuisine. They're famous for their succulent steaks and the most delicious creamy French onion soup. Yum!
Planning Your Parisian DreamSo there you have it! A day full of pink, tutus, and French elegance. If you’re ever thinking of planning your own Parisian adventure, here are some extra tips to keep in mind:
- The Eiffel Tower is an absolute must-see! It’s the quintessential Parisian experience. Make sure to visit it either at sunset or during the day for a breathtaking panorama of the city.
- Explore the charming neighbourhoods! Take time to explore the Left Bank and its hidden treasures. Visit the historic Latin Quarter and wander along the Seine. You can even rent a bicycle and explore the charming streets of Paris at your own pace!
- Indulge in some local delicacies! Be sure to sample delicious crêpes, croissants, macarons, and all sorts of French pastries.
- Take a stroll along the Champs-Élysées. The glamorous boulevard is lined with shops, restaurants, and historic buildings - perfect for an evening stroll.
- Dress in style! Channel your inner Parisian and dress up. A simple dress, beret, and flats will complete your French look.
And of course, don’t forget to bring your favourite pink tutu. You’ll feel a lot more like you’re stepping onto the stage and embracing the beautiful magic of Paris!
My Pink Tutu Tip for this weekDarling, take some time to appreciate the little things. It’s the little moments that make the big moments even more magical. So, sip your coffee, savour your croissant, and take a moment to enjoy the beauty of being in Paris.
Until next week!
