Ladurée | Travel Diary


Bonjour my beautiful friends! How are you all?


This is going to be the last article of my trip to France. A trip to France would not be complete without buying and tasting the famous Macaron. I love love love macaron so much! Laduree is now probably the most famous bakery where you can buy maracons. I know Laduree is also available in other cities like Dublin and London, but in my perspective buying maracons from Laduree in France is different.

I've seen two Laduree bakery when I was in France, one in the Avenue des Champs-Elysees and one in the Palace of Versailles. The Exterior and interior design of the bakery is very captivating. If you see a Laduree bakery, go inside and I totally recommend you to buy some macarons, you would not regret it.




I hope you enjoy reading or looking at all the photographs from my trip to France. Always remember, ''Paris is always a good idea''. Thank you guys, I love you all!


Love,

Palace of Versailles | Travel Diary


Hey Guys! How are you all doing?



Visiting the Palace of Versailles was such an amazing experience for me. I had always wanted to go to Versailles but I never really had the chance, so when I found out that I was going to France, I told my parents that I want to go and visit the Palace of Versailles. My dad even watched the history of the Palace before we go, it's just wonderful that he found it very interesting.

Every time I think about Versailles the first thing that comes to my mind is 'gold', I mean it's no surprise, yeah? The whole palace is very elegant. It is probably the best and the most beautiful castle I have been. The garden is magnificent, it's so wide. Thank goodness the weather was amazing.

Here are some of the photos I took when I was visiting the Palace of Versailles:

Disneyland - Parc Disneyland | Travel Diary


Hello my beautiful friends!

How are you all? This was my first time to go to Disneyland, and the place was very captivating. I am obsessed, I can't move on. I know you have heard this a lot of times before but, Disneyland is where all your dreams come true. It had always been a dream of mine to spend a birthday at Disneyland, and it finally came true. Though, It was not my birthday when my family and I went, but going to Disneyland was a gift from my generous parents. 


I am not going to lie, and say I don't like Disney because I'm not a kid anymore. I L-O-V-E Disney, I can spend a week or a month just watching Disney movies, I am obsessed with Disney princesses, my favourite is Belle from the Beauty and the Beast. The Beauty and the Beast has always been my favourite movie. Even my parents enjoyed our time at Disneyland. My favourite part in Parc Disney is definitely Fantasyland.

The parade was probably the best part of the trip. We did not get a chance to see the fireworks, because it was too late for us. While I'm typing this article, I'm actually listening to Magic Everywhere. I'm so torn on choosing which is the best ride in Parc Disney (Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril or Big Thunder Mountain), but I did not get a chance to ride everything.  

For lunch, we decided to eat at a restaurant called Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, it is situated in Frontierland, I actually recommend it. For dinner, we decided to go to Planet Hollywood, J'adore Planet Hollywood. If you guys want to know where I got my top, it is from Mango.

The City of Love - Paris No.2 | Travel Diary




Hey Guys,

For my second day in France, I visited the Notre Dame de Paris and the Louvre. I also went to the Eiffel Tower at night just to see the light. I posted a picture of the beautiful Eiffel Tower at night in my previous article. Before I went to Paris, I traveled to Versailles to see the Chateau de Versailles, I will have a separate article for my visit to the palace.


When I was in the Notre Dame de Paris, there's a thing called Point zero or kilometer zero. I was told that when you stepped on the thing you will be in the very centre of the City of Paris. You also need to spin on it on one foot while making a wish.

The Louvre is very majestic. In school, we studied the Renaissance and the Renaissance art, so seeing all of it in person was amazing. When I first visited the Louvre I had no idea who the painters were.

For my last day in France, I decided to go sightseeing in Paris again. Bateau-mouche is a pleasure boat that takes sightseers on the seine in Paris. I got a chance to see the beautiful buildings in Paris, Statue of Liberty replica and Pont des Arts. I also did see the Notre Dame de Paris and Eiffel Tower again. After the cruise I had lunch with my relatives that lives in Paris in Hard Rock cafe, and we went to see the National Academy of Music and the Galeries Lafayette.

The City of Love - Paris No.1 | Travel Diary


Bonjour Loves!

Paris, the city of love, is a beautiful place. This was my second time in Paris, but it did not stop me to go and see the Eiffel Tower. Just looking at the tower itself was very relaxing. I love walking around Paris, and all the carousels around Paris are magnificent. We did not have a car with us during the trip, so the only transportation available were the RER and metro, taxis were unavailable too, there was a taxi strike.


If you have read my last article, you would know that the hotel I stayed in was not in the city. So I would always need to take the RER to go to Paris, Val d'Europe to Charles de Gaulle. If you are going to exit the CDG station, it is situated in front of the beautiful Arc de Triomphe.

J'adore walking around Champs Elysees. The best Abercrombie & Fitch shop is located in the Champs-Elysees, unfortunately I did not get a chance to take a picture of it. Just the entrance of the shop is so beautiful. The biggest Louis Vuitton store is also situated in the Champs-Elysees.

A trip to France would not be complete without buying and going to Laduree, I know that Paris is not the only city who has Laduree, there's one here in Dublin too, but Laduree in Paris has always been different for me. Laduree is one of the best known makers of macarons in the world.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris was beautiful even though walking up to the basilica was very tiring. When you reach the top you will be able to see the breathtaking city of love, you will say to yourself, it was worth it.

I can't wait to go back to Paris.















Love,
