Paris, A Romantic city along the Seine

---

It is no secret that Paris is one of the most popular cities and therefore one of the most visited cities in the world. It has been a source of inspiration to many writers and artists, and it is loaded with history and beautiful architecture. And last but not least, it is also the city of love. That's the reason my boyfriend picked Paris as the place he wanted to visit during our road trip with our campervan. So, Let's Go To Paris!

The climate in Paris is the most comfortable between May and September, but Juli and August might be very crowded since most schools in Europe have holidays and lots of Europeans travel then. We were lucky that it was a beautiful day in June, the weather was comfortable with 25 degrees celsius and a bit cloudy. Paris is not known to be the city with the best weather, so it is always good to appreciate it when it is.

The Notre Dame of Paris

---

The Notre Dame is the most famous gothic cathedral of the middle ages which was built between 1163 and 1345, which means its age is currently 859 years old! The cathedral got heavily damaged in a fire in 2019, that's why it is closed to the public. Currently it is being rebuilt and it is believed that it will reopen in 2024.

The Eiffel Tower

---

When people think of Paris, they think right away about the Eiffel Tower, 1887 is the year the building of the Eiffel tower started, to be finished in 1889 for the Paris World fair. The revolutionair building was at that time the tallest in the world with its 300 meters height became the most popular attraction of Paris. Nowadays, over 6 million people climb up to the top of this tower every year. However, I think personally that there are much prettier things in Paris than this tower.

Roam through the streets of Paris

You can find some surprising architecture at every corner

Paris Is a large city, with historical buildings at every corner. I personally like it to just roam around without much of a plan, grab an ice cream here and a coffee there. Instead of knowing exactly what you will encounter on your way, you can leave it all open to surprises and find the most beautiful areas by accident.

A walk along the Seine

---

The Seine is a 777 kilometer long river, crossing through the heart of Paris. The Seine is also what gives Paris its magic and romance, and many of the famous buildings are built along the river. Every while, you can cross the waters by a large stone bridge and appreciate the view over the waters. The banks beside the river are the perfect place to go for a stroll away from the crowds and traffic

Many tourists even decide to do a boat tour to see the city from another perspective, with a guide telling them about the city's history and without getting tired of walking. I would have liked to do a boat tour if we had more time for Paris, But we had just one day and one evening as I was still working during our trip (I work online). But it is always good to have a reason to return to a place!

Besides walking, The riverside is also a cool place to just chill. Buy a nice bottle of French wine or go with a cheap beer from the supermarket, whatever you like, and enjoy a nice rest or try to catch the last hours of light of the day, at the most romantic river of France, the Seine.

After a wonderful day in Paris, we went back to our campervan which was parked on a campsite a bit out of Paris. A day well spent, leaving us with the desire to return one day back to Paris, to explore more of this Romantic city.

See you next time!
