unforgettable memories of these two shopping centers
decorated in festive colors; they are right out of a fairy tale.
French people are well-known for their laid-back style and
their spirit of enjoying each moment of life. The first place
that left many impressions on me is the Parc de Bagatelle, a
great place to go to walk and relax. Not so far from Bagatelle
is the Bois de Boulogne - the historical hunting ground of
French kings. This place is considered one of the "lungs"
of Paris and on beautiful Parisian days, people like to go
to the park for sunbathing or lie-down to read. Jardins du
Luxembourg attracts visitors with its renowned beauty. This
25-hectare garden was founded in 1612 by the initiative
of Queen Marie de Medici, the wife of King Henry IV.
Visitors can visit orchards full of apples, honey bee farms
and greenhouses with a wide range of orchids and roses.
Scattered throughout the park are hundreds of statues
honoring famous French people; fountains and exhibitions
on the garden railings also promise new discoveries.
I believe that a trip to Paris - the City of Light, is more or
less enough inspiring us the beauty of life and the passion
for world exploration. Paris will always be an ideal place as
it contains so many interesting things to discover every day
- no matter who you are - an artistic soul, a foodie or a lover
of nature.
the Sacrä-Coeur Basilica overlooks beautiful Paris. As the
heat of sun goes across one's head, it is time to find a cafä to
rest for a while before continuing the discovery journey.
Shopping & back-to-nature
pleasures
Come to the fashion capital of Paris and
you will find it hard to resist shopping. The
attractiveness of the glazed windows on
the street will overwhelm you with their
decorations; commercial centers whether
they are ancient or modern, are always as beautiful as if in
a dream.
If you are looking for high end, unique or a different
shopping experience, I recommend visiting Galerie Väro-
Doda for a quiet, old-fashioned style, and do not miss the
Forum des Halles with 150 famous brand stores such as
Nike, Lego, Superdry, Muji, Fnac, H & M, Zara, Celio,
Bershka and 17 restaurants along with the Monoprix
supermarket...
There are still at least two of Paris's oldest and most famous
shopping venues, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, on
Haussman Boulevard, district 9. If you have a chance to
visit Paris during Christmas and New Years, you will have
