France 2016 || Paris, Disneyland & Lyon ♥


I know... Spring break is over for most of us. But don't cry, summer is really close for our next travel experiments. Well, before we hop onto the summer craziness (aka summer make up, clothes, activities, travel and other everyday things etc.), i'll tell you a bit about my trip in ... France ♥


Eiffel Tower, Paris

La me at Notre Dame, Paris
Paris is one of the most beautiful European cities, and it holds the name "the city of light" for a reason: when the sun goes down, Paris presents some of the most beautiful city lights I've seen. The Eiffel tower is light up (and it had different theme some times, it was sparkly when i was there!!!), everything looks amazing to make you spend the perfect parisian night like you see in the movies. Although, you have to check the weather before you go, because spring (March/April) in Paris isn't as warm and dry as you can imagine: it was raining every single day!
Rain can be cute and give this melancholic and beautiful feeling in the air, as long as it doesn't mess with your straightened hair and your make-up that is on flick for the photos!
Notre Dame, Paris
Love Locks, Pont des Arts Bridge




Waking up in a hotel room in Paris, is really something.. You wake up with a different mood: you feel like you are living in past century and you wanna go out, have breakfast and then wander around the city in your vintage dress until it's time for the Mullen Rouge. Well, not exactly like that, but you have that chic french feeling when you walk across the Seine River, looking all those little vintage shops and artsy buildings until you cross the beautiful Pont des Arts bridge. This is also called the "love locks bridge" because couples go there and attach padlocks (with their names written) on that bridge, then they throw the key into the river, to "lock" their love, to be committed to each other ♥♥♥ (Aww!!)
There is water, parks, flowers, lights, sweets and a vintage beauty in Paris. This city can give you everything: a simple walk by the river, or a shopping therapy in the most popular fashion boutiques. It combines the modern and the old, the eccentric and the chic. Every girl that respects herself enough cannot go to Paris without visiting at least once the very known Laduree bakery. I knew that my first day in Paris as an official french girl i had to have a real authentic french macaroon in this shop (and I did! So yummy! ♥). Well, I didn't have one, actually, I had four, but it's just semantics. Also, the Eiffel tower, the Louvre and the Notre Dame are among the most popular sight seeings, but there are many more beautiful parissian places to visit: Montmartre, Champs-Elysees, Palace of Versailles and, of course, Disneyland!
Ok, what can I say about Disneyland? It's a place where dreams come true.. ♥ 
The minute i passed the gate and stepped my foot in the disneyland park, it was real. All the fairytales i was reading, all the disney movies i was watching... everything came in life in front of me and I was feeling i was one of them! Beautiful scenery, amazing colors, cute shops, sweet fairytale music and all the disney characters in front of you. The most beautiful day of my life ended even greater (if this is even possible) with a half-hour firework celebration at the closing time that took place at the Cinderella's castle, aka the Disney castle, aka the -house of my dreams- castle!
Lyon by night, Fourviere
Before this amazing trip comes to an end, i decided to visit the city of Lyon, a very beautiful city in east/central France. It's not nearly as crowded as Paris is, but i think this is a beauty of it. It's like a little not so popular Paris, and it has almost everything that Paris has: Lyon has the Basilica of Notre Dame & the Metallic Tower, both of which are in Fourviere, and are resemblance of the Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower of Paris. 
A warmer feel of air is what you feel in spring while walking across either one of the two beautiful rivers Lyon has, and also tasting some delicious french sweets and pastries that those little chic french "patisseries" offer. My choice: of course the pink pig!

But they say a picture is worth one thousand words, imagine how many words a video would worth!! Although i could ramble on and on about how beautiful France is for hours, isn't it better to see my whole Paris & Lyon experience but also my Disneyland day through my video vlogs? Merci beaucoup, gros bisous ♥♥♥
