I am just wrapping up my 10 day trip to Paris. A friend of mine lives in the Marais and offered up her apartment while she traveled so that someone could stay with her adorable cat. I immediately took her up on, brought my mom along with me, and enjoyed cosplaying life as a Parisian. During my trip, I thought many thoughts, and here is the non-exhaustive list of those thoughts.
French deodorant is none existent
How can I move to Paris as a freelancer?
A croissant a day keeps the doctor away
I LOVE IT HERE !!
Ooh, that barista is cute
Parisians do not understand guacamole
It is surprisingly cool in the shade
I wanna be a French girl
The Luxembourg gardens are lovely!
I can’t believe I never visited them before
The French need to get ON air conditioner
Like why are their trains so hot?
Opera feels like Midtown
I love running on the seine
I feel superior than other American tourists
The only place with good AC in this city is the Grand Palais
People are swimming in the seine !!
The Eiffel Tower is so beautiful but the surrounding area is so meh
The best place to people watch in the city is at Le Leticia on the isle San Luis
They seriously need to put air conditioning into their restaurants
It’s so quiet in this city
I am the chicest American girl in this city
AC is political here?? I’m confused??
Swimming in the seine is so iconic
The water is cold but not too cold
Oh, the 6th arrondissement is very pretty
I wish I spoke French
I should move here
People run so fast along the Seine
The people here really love matcha and I really HATE matcha
I love eating a croissant every day
I don’t wanna go home
But I miss my cats so I wanna go home
My barista said “see you later” to me this morning but I won’t see her later 😭
I love it here so much
I need to go home before I spend all of my savings
I don’t wanna go home
What a perfect trip and introduction to Parisian life. Is a move in your future?
