I think, most of the people who haven’t been in Paris thinks that its elegant and lovely but I got to know all sides of Paris. Me and my boyfriend came to France in June 2017 , when was the hottest summer time - the thermometer showed 41-42 degrees celcius! I will never forget when we went off from rainy hometown to breatheless France. But after some time we get used to that heat.

After all, when we started to getting acquainted with Paris, immediately noticed a lot of busy people, beauty salons, dirt, graffiti walls and the smell..The smell was actually so strong, that me and my bf still get those flashbacks and talk about it. And it was not that bad actually.. It was mixed up with different smells, because there was a lot of markets, fruit shops. And yes, if your hotel is near Monmarte and you have vacation in Paris on summer time, it will be inevitable. :D Ps. If you plan to wander in Paris and your purpose is not only to see the Eiffel tower - I recommend you to wear comfortable shoes. Your feets will thank you!

Because weather was too hot, we spent a lot of time in museums (Louvre, D’Orsay, Pompidou). Museums are soo large that you need different days to explore at least a part of it. I think, Paris is art gallerie paradise :D And if you like any kind of art I really recommend you to try those different kind of museums. Pompidou is Modern art museum, meanwhile Louvre and D’orsay presents classic work of arts. By the way, if you are a student, you can go to those museums for free! And they are really photogenic ;)

What about parks? Paris, can be proud about one of the parks that has a special place in my heart - Tuileries garden. This garden is my TOP 1 park, because It’s my love at firts sight and I felt really comfortable there. Also its really photogenic, because the view is amazing with those museums and parisian buildings. Furthermore, you can eat, drink your coffee and rest in nature after exploring city.

Paris will bring you everything, especially if you get the opportunity to see two sides of this big city - the messy one and other - pretty, fashionable with amazing architecture and parks. I won’t write about Paris at night, delicious croissans and a lot of other things that you will see and try if you come to Paris. Give yourself time to wander at Paris - it’s really worth to do it. I promise - you want to go back soon <3
