"Parfait Paris" a Paris Travel Page by arv1

Yes...I was lucky enough to say, that Paris, France was my home!! Well, it was home away from home.

Just last year, I was a student in Paris, on an exchange for one year, studying Economics at the Sorbonne...it was an absolutely awesome experience and I am soooo greatful that I was selected to go to Paris. Ever since I went to Paris as a youngster, I have been in awe of this amazing city, and for a short while, I could call it home!

There is sooo much to do in Paris, and even after a year, I was still a tourist at heart!! I was able to partake in all the tourist sites as well as share some tips for those of you who will stay here longer...so welcome to my pages!

I have been to Paris twice before moving here and both times I have thought it was absolutely pretty!!

The first time I went was late in the year of 1998 with my mum, dad and brother. We went only for the weekend, I think I had Teachers training day...hmmm...but it was nice to go, as it was my first trip to Europe that I was old enough to remember!!

The second time I went was with school. This was great, but also scary, as it was the first time I went without my parents!!

1, 2, 3 awwwwwwwww

Both times I went, I could not speak much french except for 'excusez-moi, anglais?', which in my head meant 'excuse me, do you speak english?'. It doesn't!! But now that I am practically fluent in French, I am sure I will enjoy myself even more!!

Paris is surrounded by so much culture its unbelievable!! There is something to see in practically every street!
