One day you’re 19 dreaming about Paris (clueless that you’d literally be there in just 4 short years π€―)…
…20 years later, I’m still dreaming about that trip π€©
β¨ Perfect little cafes
β¨ Gorgeous museums
β¨ Tons of walking with scenic views
β¨ Patient locals who waited while I stumbled through my French
β¨ Louis, the friendliest concierge, who set the tone for the enjoyment of everyone I met
β¨ Visiting iconic locations with me, myself, and I…and a digital camera
β¨ Overlooking the sparkling Eiffel Tower while I sipped on a cocktail
β¨ Journaling from a park bench while I saw the epitome of “French Classique” – a chic older lady, dressed in a skirt suit and silk scarf, with her poodle.
β¨ Fainting on Le MΓ©tro because it was too hot and muggy (and I didn’t yet have a grasp on hydrating and fueling as I went through the day π
)
It will forever remain a beyond special experience in my life, and one that’s etched in my brain as an immediate dopamine hit when I think of it! So grateful to have had the opportunity to go π If you get the chance to enjoy Le Vrai Paris, simply say “OUI!”
