Paris has left an ambivalent impression on our first visit last year. Maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised about it. It’s such a huge city with so many different places and it’s one of the most touristy cities in the world. Our first impressions were bad. But during that 4 days we spent there we…

The Fountains Of Versailles Palace
One of our favorite attraction on our first visit to Paris was Versailles Palace – Château de Versailles as French call it.
