【🇫🇷Paris Vlog】Best views for Eiffel Tower📸 hotel recommendations, aesthetic cafes🥐 & luxury shopping
This is the hotel I dream of staying at in Paris. Very abundant. Is it really a maze? so pretty. We can see the Eiffel Tower from here. Here we are~. Hi everyone I am Carine. I'm finally in Paris. The first thing upon arriving in Paris is to check into our hotel.
The hotel behind me is the one we'll be staying at in Paris. This is the type of room we're staying in. Wow, it's incredibly beautiful 😍. Our bed.
And, surprisingly, we even have a sofa. I had no idea we had a sofa. I think it's fantastic. The sofa has a view of the streets of Paris right in front of it. The best part is that the balcony is accessible. We can sit here and relax. Omg it's so pretty.
This is the hotel I've always dreamt of staying in in Paris (so cliché 🤣). From the rooftops in Paris, you can see many little chimneys. They look so cute!!! Now, let's take a look at our shower. Our shower is quite nice too. I love that there are two sinks. So no more fighting for space of the sink. And they provide toiletries. And surprisingly, it comes with a view!!!
So beautiful~~~~. Behind this door is our toilet (the toilet and shower are separate). And next to the toilet is our closet. We've placed our luggage here. Of course, there's a safe too. And a refrigerator. Wow, take a look~ it's so enticing. But, of course, it not for free. A bag of chips costs 4 euros. This bag of chips is so tiny!!! And it costs 4 euros. We'll probably go to the supermarket to buy some snacks.
There's also a full-body mirror. At 4 PM, they serve afternoon tea ☕️. This is where we can dine and have our afternoon tea. French dried sausage. I want this one.
Chocolate muffin. What is this you think? It's jam. And this one is matcha. I want this one. They have many different tea varieties. We chose these two. Two nights USD603.
- The hotel room is very clean with a great view of Paris streets 🤍 - The location is excellent, very convenient for transportation - The area is quite safe - The front desk staff provides excellent service. I really love the street views in Paris 🤍. It's only a 12-minute walk from our hotel to Lafayette. No matter how many times we visit, it's always beautiful. We're now on the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette. From here, you can see the Eiffel Tower.
So beautiful~. The rooftop is crowded with people. I'm crossing the street very casually. She's afraid of getting hit by the car 🤣. The next place we're going to is Galerie Vivienne. It's about a 20-minute walk from Galeries Lafayette. Since the weather is nice, we decided to walk there directly. It's a place with lots of small shops and restaurants on both sides.
Now, it's time for dinner there. It's so beautiful 😍😍😍. (I walked around not knowing where the camera was 🤣). One pointing left👈🏻 one pointing right👉🏻 everything here is beautiful and exquisite. Because the pizza place we wanted to go to was closed (or maybe they had a private event...). So, we decided to dine at this French restaurant 🍴.
(This is Galerie des Variétés, about a 9-minute walk from Galerie Vivienne). This is the duck breast we ordered. And below it is mashed potatoes. This is sausage. It looks really delicious~. Dinner USD62/2people. The duck breast is really good~. But the mashed potatoes could use some improvement 🤫. The Seine River looks so beautiful at night. We initially wanted to book a dinner cruise on the Seine River for tomorrow.
But they were all fully booked 😭. This is where we're having breakfast today. I love that most restaurants have outdoor seating. This is our brunch. It looks so abundant~ 🥐☕️. This is our main course, along with dessert and yogurt 🫐.
Their croissants are just okay~ We have to try rose croissants next time 🌹🥐. I love Eggs Benedict 🥚. The main course is decent~. The yogurt is super delicious~ 😋. 🚫 Banana pancakes are just a big no!!!!!! 🚫. Brunch USD56.6/2people. We just finished breakfast. And finally, the sun is out. Now, we're going to take a walk near the Eiffel Tower to digest a bit.
Because we are so full now. We probably won't visit the Louvre this time. Because on a previous trip to Paris, my mom and I visited the Louvre. Back then, I was a student in France, so the ticket was free. We just need to climb this staircase to reach our photo spot. The Eiffel Tower is right here. Wow, it's such a beautiful view (it looks like the scenes in the movie).
The photos we took just now are incredibly beautiful. And now we're heading to another Eiffel Tower viewpoint for more photos. We're saying hello to the tourists on the boat 👋🏻😂. We bought a bouquet of flowers, so beautiful💜.
It matches my dress today🪻. Big thank you to my boyfriend and my photographer🤍. This is our second photo spot. Right next to it is a flower shop. So we bought a bouquet of purple flowers and roses. It goes perfectly with my outfit today. The whole street is my runway🤣.
A bouquet of flowers USD14.35 (It's so worth it to buy a small bouquet of flowers for pictures). Now, we're walking to Jardin des Tuileries. Initially, we wanted to go to Luxembourg Gardens. But the locals recommended us to visit Jardin des Tuileries. It's closer to where we are now. But it's still about a 30-minute walk 😅. We've arrived, and we quickly found two lounge chairs (so lucky!!!). We can relax here. Many people are taking a walk here with their kids or pets.
This area was supposed to be a small pond. But it seems like it's under renovation now. Wow so pretty here. We've been spending most of our time in another place. So we didn't realize that the architecture here is so beautiful. It gives off a feeling like I'm inside a medieval palace.
This area inside looks like a maze. We're going inside to have a look. Is it really a maze, or it just looks like a maze?! Many people are having picnics here 🧺. And it's really good when there is shades like that. Yeah looks so chill.
Look so pretty~. The Louvre museum is right there. But we're going to Palais-Royal Garden which is behind the Louvre. Now we're at the black and white columns. So many people (Look at the crowd behind me omg🥶). But I'll still take pictures 🤣. I thought I wouldn't buy any luxury bags this time. But I ended up buying one🛍️. Now, I'm going to unbox the bag I just bought.
It's so beautiful~. The style of this bag is different from our usual ones. And it can be worn crossbody. When we went to Lafayette yesterday, it was super crowded. So today, we decided to go to the department store right next to it, called Printemps. And I found the bag I wanted~. Taiwan price: USD3,345 / France price after tax refund: USD2,524.
Buying luxury bags in Europe is really worth it. Now, it's time for dinner. We've been resting at the hotel for about an hour. Because we walked all day, and my feet even got blisters. So, for dinner, we wanted to find a restaurant closer to our hotel. And with good reviews. We found a pizza place that looks good. Here is ti. Dinner USD32.5/2 people.
At first, I was worried because there weren't many people, and I thought the Google reviews might be fake... But it turned out to be quite delicious~ 🍕. See you next time 💛 You enhance my journals during my 20s!
