Jardin des Tuileries Paris

After the lunch, our tour started again and we went in the direction of Tuileries Gardens, the oldest park in Paris which is no doubt a magnificent garden right in the middle of the city. It is really heartening to find a place in such a metropolitan city where people could sit and watch, eat a croissant and children playing around. The whole …

Bienvenue à Paris!

I arrived in Paris a few days before my program actually started. I knew that our program included a weekend in Paris, but I wanted to make sure I had enough time to do and see everything I wanted to here. For the first time, I am traveling alone and without a pre-determined agenda. The days were completely mine to …

Acordei super cedo e peguei o metrô para a estação St Pancras para pegar o Eurostar para Paris. Confesso que estava meio preocupada de passar mal por conta do tunel, mas dormi a viagem inteira e só acordei quando estava chegando à Gare du Nord em Paris.

After my wonderful date with Sir Paul, we left around 2 and got back to Twickenham around 3. This left me about 20 minutes before I had to turn around to make my 5:40 train to Paris. While the adrenaline was enough to get me home it was not enough to get me to the …

Just before returning to Paris, I googled for images of Paris in the Fall, - what comes out is always almost the sames - the lonely deserted park , trees all lined up in a straight row, with golden leaves strewn all over. Les Jardin des Tuileris in the Fall - that would be beautiful. How could I have missed Jardin des Tuileries in my previous …
