After spending most of the summer working I decided to treat myself to a little get away. Flying normally stressed me out, you have to get to the airport quite a while before your flight takes off and I always worry that my suitcase is to heavy or doesn’t comply with the airlines dimensions. Also I can’t stand the long queues for the check in, to get into the plane, to get out of the plane, passport control… you get were I’m coming from right?
That’s why
the Eurostar is the perfect alternative. There are practically no queues, there
is less people, no stress with luggage and very comfortable seats and even wi-fi!
There are more locations you can travel to with
the Eurostar, but I thought returning to Paris after 10 years was a good
option.

To be perfectly honest with you one of the first
stops I wanted to make was Champs-Élysées, basically because they have the
biggest Sephora I have seen in my life. It´s like being in beauty heaven, you
have so many lovely and sometimes difficult to find brands all under one roof! It
is so easy to get carried away and spend all your euros. (If you like make-up hauls wacth out for my next post!)

Going up the Eiffel tower is basically mandatory
if your going to Paris. I would recommend buying your tickets in advance rather
than spending over an our queuing up like I did, not a smart move I must admit,
but the views from the top were breath taking.

Walking
along the river seine is also lovely, I would definitely recommend getting a
tour shuttle to take you through the river, loved it!
There are
other typical tourist places like Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, the Louvre,
Les Invalides, etc. All very lovely!

But loosing yourself in the parisian roads,
stopping in a parisian café, having a café au lait with a macaron or a pain au chocolat and watching people go by, is what Paris
is all about.
Where was your favourite get-away? Would love to hear about it!
Looks like you had an amazing time! I loved the photos. Gemma x
