The city of love and light may be the first one people roll their eyes over when they think of a cliché place to go. I thought that too before I went for the first time. Upon leaving the train station and walking into the city, all those feelings disappeared. Paris is perfect. The Haussmann architecture from the late 1800s reinvented the entire city and it gives it a very regal vibe. A ride up the Eiffel Tower is definitely worth it on a sunny day. You can spend hours in the Louvre and only cover a small portion of it. But the real magic comes from walking down back streets and discovering something unexpected and beautiful.
