Paris

Of all the amazing cities in the world that I’ve visited, nothing beats Paris. It’s one of a kind and really holds a special place in my heart. We had a fantastic week staying right in the centre of Paris just near the Pompidou with a wonderful French lady. There wasn’t a whole lot of sleep…there was however an excess of nutella and banana crepes and several croissants too.
