Scandinavian school of Brussels - blog

This weekend my friend Moa and I went to Paris for 2 days. Moa had her birthday in November and as a gift I gave her a weekend in Paris together with me. We decided to go to Paris in the spring since we both think that it is when Paris is most beautiful. The trip was just how I imagined it would be like (if not better)! 

 

Friday morning we went into Brussels to catch the bus we were taking straight to Paris. It took about three and a half hours to get to Paris due to some traffic on the way in to the city. When we arrived we took the metro to our hotel and checked in. After getting settled, we went out in the beautiful weather and walked to the Eiffeltower. There were loads of people out and about since the weather was so nice and it was a friday afternoon. After the busride and the sightseeing, we were pretty hungry so we decided to eat some dinner at a restaurant near the Eiffeltower. We were able to sit outside and ate a fantastic meal. 

After dinner, we walked around for a while and then decided that we would return to the hotel so we would be awake and ready the next morning to do some shopping.

 

Saturday morning, after eating breakfast and checking out of the hotel, we took the metro to the ¨Arc de Triomphe¨ and then walked down the Champs-Élysées and went in all the fancy stores. After hours of walking and windowshopping, we sat down at a resturant and ate lunch. Before taking the bus back home, we walked around some more by the river Seine. 

 

We spent some wonderful days in Paris and I am so glad that we took the advantage that we have here in Belgium to visit the beautiful city over a weekend, since living in Belgium you have the possibility to visit many countries and cities since everything is so close by.
