Paris | Summer, scents and shopping

What is there not to love about Paris?! We were utterly amazed by the mesmerising, beautiful and mysterious city of love!

The street was packed with people, tourists-alike.

So many photographs to be posted here so I am going to break my Paris adventure into two. So this first part would be from our train station to our hotel on Saturday, day 3 of the Europe vacation.

If I thought London was warm, then Paris was hotter!! Over 35C, the hottest we felt throughout our holiday. What a crazy summer in Paris!

Everywhere you see was people and cars!! And not forgetting the well preserved historical buildings and houses on cobbled streets.

Our 1st stop in Paris was the Fragonard Perfume Museum. We got the chance to understand a little bit about perfume and smell the famous scents of Fragonard.

The next stop was every ladies' dream.  Marne La Vaile outlet for our shopping therapy. Again, the place was packed with sea of shoppers. We spent almost 3 hours there and I walked home with few new blouses. ^^

Before the shopping started, we filled up our empty tummies first. Rice and noodle! Chinese! Cannot go on without them. Lol.

Dinner on our first evening in Paris?? French 3 courses of course. That will be in another post, another day though. ^^

Surprisingly for me, of all the cities in Europe, Paris is the one I least liked. It is so stiff with not much greeneries and the people there are not very friendly. Switzerland is heaven to me :D
