Paris 2025

Travel

Jul 29

Friday July 4 - Monday July 7

Third stop of the European trip was Paris. Technically the fourth, as our 7 hour train from Milan to Paris was cancelled due to floods in Paris. Instead, we took a train from Milan to Zürich Switzerland where we stayed a night.

Le Marais

We stayed in the lively Marais district in Paris, situated between the 3rd and 4th arrondissement. The narrow streets of the neighborhood are filled with small cafes, shops, and bars, perfect for walking around. The beautiful streets and architecture gave the city a charm that was enhanced by the people and French language.

At night, the neighborhood bars and restaurants are filled into the lively streets with patrons having a drink with friends.

The Eiffel Tower

An iconic landmark that reminds you that you are in Paris.

Louvre Museum

Due to limited time, going inside the museum was not an option. Admiring the architecture from outside was an equally enriching experience.

L’Atelier Entrecote & Volaille

On the must try list of foods was Steak & Frites. Although not the main restaurant everyone goes to for steak & frites, we were excited to have found a restaurant with a chicken & frites option. It did not disappoint.

Arc de Triomphe

Champs-Elysees

A famous avenue filled with luxury shopping, cafes, restaurants, and more. A center for events, and even the finish of the Tour de France. On this day, there was a parade that closed off the street to only pedestrians.
