unforgettable memories of these two shopping centers<br />

decorated in festive colors; they are right out of a fairy tale.<br />

French people are well-known for their laid-back style and<br />

their spirit of enjoying each moment of life. The first place<br />

that left many impressions on me is the Parc de Bagatelle, a<br />

great place to go to walk and relax. Not so far from Bagatelle<br />

is the Bois de Boulogne - the historical hunting ground of<br />

French kings. This place is considered one of the "lungs"<br />

of Paris and on beautiful Parisian days, people like to go<br />

to the park for sunbathing or lie-down to read. Jardins du<br />

Luxembourg attracts visitors with its renowned beauty. This<br />

25-hectare garden was founded in 1612 by the initiative<br />

of Queen Marie de Medici, the wife of King Henry IV.<br />

Visitors can visit orchards full of apples, honey bee farms<br />

and greenhouses with a wide range of orchids and roses.<br />

Scattered throughout the park are hundreds of statues<br />

honoring famous French people; fountains and exhibitions<br />

on the garden railings also promise new discoveries.<br />

I believe that a trip to Paris - the City of Light, is more or<br />

less enough inspiring us the beauty of life and the passion<br />

for world exploration. Paris will always be an ideal place as<br />

it contains so many interesting things to discover every day<br />

- no matter who you are - an artistic soul, a foodie or a lover<br />

of nature.<br />

the Sacrä-Coeur Basilica overlooks beautiful Paris. As the<br />

heat of sun goes across one's head, it is time to find a cafä to<br />

rest for a while before continuing the discovery journey.<br />

Shopping & back-to-nature<br />

pleasures<br />

Come to the fashion capital of Paris and<br />

you will find it hard to resist shopping. The<br />

attractiveness of the glazed windows on<br />

the street will overwhelm you with their<br />

decorations; commercial centers whether<br />

they are ancient or modern, are always as beautiful as if in<br />

a dream.<br />

If you are looking for high end, unique or a different<br />

shopping experience, I recommend visiting Galerie Väro-<br />

Doda for a quiet, old-fashioned style, and do not miss the<br />

Forum des Halles with 150 famous brand stores such as<br />

Nike, Lego, Superdry, Muji, Fnac, H & M, Zara, Celio,<br />

Bershka and 17 restaurants along with the Monoprix<br />

supermarket...<br />

There are still at least two of Paris's oldest and most famous<br />

shopping venues, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, on<br />

Haussman Boulevard, district 9. If you have a chance to<br />

visit Paris during Christmas and New Years, you will have<br />
