Romance in Paris

Katie Kirk on 28 June 2013
Paris.... wow!! This time my now fiancée Lee Surprised me with a trip to this amazing city for my 30th birthday wow what a break this turned out to be!

We went for 3 nights and it would be the last time we would go away together as just the 2 of us or should I say 2.5 of us ;o)

We stayed in beautiful little boutique hotel in the theatre district, which was conveniently situated close to the tube, which like London is the easiest way to visit all the sights Paris has to offer!

We stayed B&B but Room Only would also be fine and 2 mornings of the 3 we went out for breakfast as there are hundreds of cute little cafes & restaurants to eat in, if you are like me these are great places to sit outside, watch the world go by & people watch!

The sights to see in Paris are endless – we used the sightseeing tour buses and hoped on and off as and when we wanted to visit some of these key attractions and manages to fit allot in....., from Le louvre – Notre Dam – The famous love lock Bridge and of course we put a lock on there!!

We couldn’t believe how different the Eiffel Tower looked in the day compare to the night!!! That 1st day was so tiring but we absolutely loved it, On the night Lee made me get ready as more celebrations were in store and we had to get back to the Eifel tower where he had arranged a river cruise on the Seine with meal & drinks (lee certainly got his monies worth of alcohol). The bateaux parisiens cruise was total VIP luxury, the food was amazing and we (well lee ha ha) had a different wine with each course. What a romantic night and half way through this beautiful evening, Lee asked me to marry him…just as we sailed under the bridge of love..... I obviously said YES and this really did top off our celebrations - this night was the best of my life!

The next day we did what I do best and we shopped till we dropped. The designer shops are out of this world. We finished it off with the famous show Moulin Rouge – all the reviews are right it is a great show & experience.

It’s a lovely romantic place and one that will stay in our hearts forever. My favorite city by far.
