10 Things To Do in Paris

Planning a trip to Paris? Trying to figure out what to whilst your there? Look no further. Here are 10 things to do in Paris. (Although there is loads more)


1. The Eiffel Tower
Now who goes to Paris and doesn't go to the Eiffel Tower? Its beautiful all hours of the day. Observe the tower from afar or travel up to the top and take in the view. Its absolutely breathtaking.



2. The Louvre 
Another popular tourist spot, the Lourve is one of those places you have to see. Not only is the art impeccable but the history behind the building is incredibly interesting. Even if you aren't an art fan, this is something that needs to be seen.

3. Paris Bike Tour
What better way to explore Paris than on a bike? Go with a tour group and discover all the highlights of Paris. Better yet, their are rentable bikes everywhere. Hire your own and get lost within the wonders of the city!

4. Paris River Cruise
What better way to explore the Seine river than on a river cruise? Go for lunch or dinner and explore the monuments surrounding the river. It's great for all ages.

5. Arc de Triomphe
Now in the picture it may look small, but I assure you this is one of the worlds biggest monuments. You can travel to the top and take in the view or walk around underneath and learn a little bit of France's history.


6. Notre Dame de Paris
One of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in Paris, it's not to be missed! Located in the central of Paris, explore the history this church has to offer.


7. Paris by Mouth Tour
Want to experience the french cuisine? The Paris by Mouth food tour is your answer! The cheese, the croissants and the snails, oh my!

8. Rue De Rivoli 
This one is for you shopaholics. The Rue De Rivoli is one of the most famous streets of Paris. It includes all the most famous high-fashion labels. So if you are looking for something to buy, this is your first-stop-shop.

9. The Catabombs of Paris
Now this is not the for light-hearted. The Catabombs were a previous burial place for the Parisians in the 18th century. It has approximatly 6 million remains.This is a spooky, haunting yet interesting aspect of Paris.

10. Disneyland Paris
Now, if you are a bit of a Disney freak (like myself) Disneyland Paris is a must! The parade, the sculptures and building include all your favourite Disney characters.Even if you may think its small, its everything you Disney fans have ever dreamed off.

A lot of Youtubers and Bloggers have done this, but to know me better I decided to do the 15 Random Questions Tag. Here it goes!!
1. What’s a nickname only your family calls you?I get Mimi a lot. Especially when my siblings were younger they couldn't pronounce Amy so instead they would say Mimi. 
2. What’s a weird habit of yours?Apparently I sleep talk. In saying that I apparently told people my darkest secrets.
3. Do you have any weird phobias?I'm not sure if it's weird but I'm afraid of loosing my teeth. I can't go to bed without flossing and brushing my teeth. Same in the morning, I refuse to leave the house unless my teeth are clean. I have had this habit for a while now
4. What’s a song you secretly love to blast & belt out when you’re alone?At the moment I'm belting out to Iggy Azeleas 'Fancy'. This one is my current favourite but give me a few weeks and it'll likely change. Sometimes its even Taylor Swift!
5. What’s one of your biggest pet peeves?I can't stand people who think they are better than everyone else. It really annoys me! 
6. What’s one of your nervous habits?I tend to bite my nails. I know its disgusting and I have no nails because of it but I am trying to break this habit. 
 7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?I dont really have a side. I look like a starfish when I'm asleep!
 8. What was your first stuffed animal & it’s name?My first stuffed animal was a pink teddy bear I've had since I was born. It has never had an actual name, I would just call it teddy.

10. What’s the beauty rule you preach, but never actually practice?The beauty rule I preach is probably washing your face. I'm guilty of not doing this but washing your face reduces pimples! When I do take my make-up off I use a microfibre washer with some cleanser. The one I'm using at the moment is Simple, but Neutrogena works too :)
 11. Which way do you face in the shower?I'm usually facing towards the shower, especially if the water is really hot!! haha

13. What’s your favorite comfort food that ‘bad’ but you love to eat it anyways?HOT CHIPS. Literally anything potato works with me.
 14. What’s a phrase or exclamation you always say?'Whats Crack-a-lackin' is probably my most used one. Also instead of saying goodbye I will use 'see ya!' or 'have fun'
15. Time to sleep!! What are you actually wearing?I'm currently wearing my rabbit onesie. In summer though I usually wear a set of pyjamas.
