Visiting Paris felt like stepping into a giant open-air museum, but with croissants everywhere. One of our first stops was the Louvre, which was so huge that we joked you could walk inside for five minutes and still end up lost for three hours. We wandered through endless halls, saw more statues than we could count, and of course visited the Mona Lisa, who was much smaller than we expected but still had a whole crowd cheering her on like a celebrity. Everywhere we turned, there was another masterpiece staring back at us.
We also made sure to visit the Eiffel Tower, which somehow looks even more dramatic in person than in photos. Standing under it made us feel tiny, and going up the tower gave us a view that stretched across all of Paris like a giant postcard. In between sightseeing, we basically turned our trip into a food tour. Even though Paris is known for pastries and fancy cuisine, we ate a surprising amount of pizza and pasta, and honestly, they were amazing. Sitting at little outdoor restaurants, eating carb-loaded meals, and people-watching felt like the perfect vibe.
Overall, Paris was a mix of culture, humor, and really good food. We saw famous landmarks, admired beautiful statues, and enjoyed the kind of relaxed, slightly chaotic fun that only traveling brings. It is the kind of city where you can wander without a plan and still end up somewhere iconic. By the end of the trip, we were full of pasta, full of laughs, and full of memories that made Paris feel unforgettable.
