Here's my first Paris post! My mum and I had such an incredible time; we explored parts of Paris we had never visited before and each time we visit the City of Love and Lights we are amazed by all the different neighborhoods and all the cultural experiences Paris has to offer. Even though Paris has about 2,5 million inhabitants, I somehow feel at home and comfortable strolling along old streets such as Boulevard Haussmann, which you can see in these photos above. I guess I feel that way because all the different neighborhoods have a village feeling to them with their own cafés, markets and schools. Recently, I read a book about Paris and the author pointed out that some Parisians who have lived in Paris all their lives have never visited the Eiffel Tower or have crossed the river Seine; they just stay in their own trusted neighborhoods. My mum and I didn't stay in a hotel this time. We made use of AirBNB which is quite a new concept, but a very successful one. Basically, you 'rent' someone's house for a few days while the person who owns the house is away. This is quite a cheap solution and if you search the AirBNB website carefully, you will be able to find beautiful appartements on the most amazing locations. At first my mum and I were a little concerned about the safety and reliability, but AirBNB proved us wrong and it worked really well for us! We will definitely make use of it again in the future! I wore this outfit on Saturday. Paris gives me so much positive energy, hence the happy jumping picture :) A few more Paris posts are coming up, I hope you enjoy them! Beaucoup de bisous, Aimee
