Went for the impressionist art, stumbled upon a goldmine of beautiful work by Degas in relation to his work focused on the Paris Opera.

From a family that travels so often it feels a part of the DNA that somehow ended up with an introverted scaredy cat who managed to get up the courage to move far across the world. Swapping rural country sides for large cities to mountainside villages and now currently back in a city. I love to travel with a good book in my bag, try delicious food and am always writing. While I'm still a bit of a scaredy cat and introverted I'm still always up for a new adventure, to explore new places, and to meet new people. Currently calling South Korea home.
Sainte-Chapelle
So much stained glass. Very pretty.
The Louvre
Before going to the Louvre I highly suggest making a list of the art you really want to see and where it is in the museum because it's easy to get lost and turned around.
Café la Bûcherie
It's kind of a bummer when you go to France and have had better crêpes in Thailand (or even in high school French Club).
Shakespeare and Company
There seems to be magic steeped in the foundation of this bookstore. Or maybe it comes from the books themselves.
The Palace of Versailles/ Château de Versailles
Suggestion: Go early and maybe start in the gardens which open an hour before the palace. Also expect a lot of exercise. This place is immense.
Cojean
self serve water, wifi, and a comfortable atmosphere. It's a wonder I didn't spend more of my time here.
Paris Pass
A breakdown of the Paris Pass and whether it was worth it for my specific trip.
Hôtel du Triangle D’or
The small but nice music themed hotel I stayed at in Paris.
A Solo Trip to Paris
Paris was fun but exhausting. Read about scams I encountered, the magic of France Air, and how I got around during the Strike. Prepare for the Paris posts.
