The weather was amazing and the crowds just simply were not there. This was the latest fall trip we've ever done, and I would 100% repeat that time of year!
Paris is the ninth largest city in the EU, but it tops the list of most densely populated cities in the EU, and squeezes a lot of people into its beautiful streets!
Every, single person I dealt with was perfectly polite and actually quite welcoming, particularly for a touristy area.
I was amazed how easy it was just to zip out to a far-flung city on the TGV, and be back in Paris for the afternoon/evening!
It's not just the landscapes are incredible in Paris- it's also that famous je ne sais quoi that the French seem to *all* have.
From ladies in the omnipresent scarves (tied up in the fascinating ways) to the chicest children I have ever seen in my life, one of the best parts of a trip to Paris is people watching.
