You know, like flying on a budget airline to Paris. With the Eurostar there are no queues, no hassle, no long waits and no idiot holding up the security queue with their ginormous bottles of liquids. After a breakfast of croissants, muesli and orange juice I sat back and watched the French countryside pass me by and I arrived in less than 2 hours.
My room on the 6 th floor was spacious but cosy, nicely designed I love that wallpaper , spotlessly clean, modern and with a handy kitchenette too. I spent forever ogling out my window and admiring the view before remembering there was a whole city to explore!
That evening I went to a press event to launch the Citadines Moments 30 campaign and meet the other bloggers involved. There were about 20 members of the French press who were all interested in the competition and seeing what we get up to. I slept with my curtains open so once again woke up to that incredible view. Waking up to a pinky sky and the Eiffel Tower was an absolute dream come true and I had to tear myself away to go for breakfast.
After another breakfast of croissants and fresh fruit I took the short walk to the Eiffel Tower. I wandered around taking photos while doing my very best to avoid all the scammers and touts. I decided not to go up the tower because the queue was so long and I had so much I wanted to see. I headed to the Palais de Tokyo for a quick look around on my way to the Musee Galliera. This is also known as the Musee de la Mode, or the fashion museum.
Of course, I went inside and loved it. The display during my visit September was s haute couture. I love seeing the way fashion and history shape each other. Vintage fashion lovers will be heaven wandering among the beautiful dresses with the clinched in waistlines and swirling skirts typical of the s. These shapes created a fashion revolution after the years of hardship imposed by the Second World War.
