When I was considering in September, where I will travel during autumn, I admit that Paris was one of the last choices. Somehow I thought that perhaps except the Eiffel Tower does not offer anything extra. Of course everyone knows the Louvre, Elysee Palace, romantic bridges dotted with locks and so on, until I could write for a long time and still I would not write all what is in Paris.
What about destiny wanted, all destinations I picked up were too expensive, once time it was accomondation, next time air tickets. Throughout browsing the internet and search options me constantly jumping up window "Eurotrips, cz - Paris 3500 -" From the beginning I ignored it, because I definitely did not want to go to Paris and not at all with "some" of the agency.
The more I have browsed the internet, the more I began to wonder about offer from Eurotrips.cz.
Not only that, it was the cheapest option, but also to a more thorough study basically meet all my requirements. Which is: I want to know the history of the city, but seriously I wanna have head like "a ball" from all the informations, I want to see the city, but really I'm not going to fall down at 8 pm by tiredness. I really want to enjoy the night atmosphere of the city.
And really Eurotrips.cz fulfilled all promises. It is clear to me that you're thinking that Eurotrips paid me for advertising, but no. Those who were with them already knows too well what I write about. And whether I want to or not, this cool bunch of people will occur in this article often, because thanks to them, we had the "time to never forget"
After a night spent in the bus, we finally arrived in Paris and the first thing I thought was "Hooray, I ll see the Eiffel Tower, and I am done with Paris!" Okey, I was totally wrong.
When you arrive in Paris, the first thing that welcomes you there is an "industrial" zone and the Seine. Basically you will almost remember Prague how beautiful the city is. The more, however, at the center, the more it changes the Paris from"industrial zones" in city full of historical monuments and cafes. But still it is not a "right" to what you might expect from Paris.
About the accommodation just that I really didnt expect such a comfort.As the plan was evening cruise on the Seine and then go sit down somewhere for a wine, so it was quite a dilemma how to choose shoes. "Converse" and well-being or vice versa ballerinas and take a chance that I will suffer. As I followed my own the rules, I will not rush to go anywhere so the choice number 2 was clear. At least
I tried to calm down if I get lost, so I will not look like a "complete tourist" with "sneakers" and backpack on back.
I'll be honest, after the first question how to get somewhere, I was brought out of the error. If you do not speak French, so it is with the Parisians really severe communication, because they do not communicate otherwise. Aye it was my first encounter with the locals.
Another was better and because of that I finally found the courtyard of the Louvre, where I finally saw the famous glass pyramid. It was beautiful, but what impressed me even more was perhaps the way from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower.
Since the metro and I have never been friends anywhere, so I decided to take a walk. And I'm not sorry. Because instead of finding the right place at the metro station, or even trying to navigate from the map, I just went Eifell tower direction. Well, in the worst case, if I lose I can call new friends from Eurotrips.
They certainly (and I later tried :) ) will be on the phone.
The moment I left the courtyard of the Louvre, I found myself in the Tuileries gardens.
And in that moment, there was the view, which conquered me. Lots of people at the picnic, street performers and all with a view of the Eiffel tower and sunset.
I wanted to stay there longer, but I could not because it was almost 19:00, and we had a meeting at 20:30 in front of the Eiffel tower. And the cruise on the Seine I really did not want to miss, had no choice but to go.
Along the way I passed a lot of bridges including the famous one with locks, lots of locals who simply enjoyed the day in a cafe with a book and frankly, just in their place I wanted to be, because this is what I really dont know how to do just take a rest and chill.
The way I ran and the more I was approaching the Eiffel Tower, the more I faded away. Because the "damn" tower nowhere to be seen. The only thing that comforted me was that all that I asked for directions told me, "Go straight" and all of a sudden the tower finally appeared. A close view is perhaps even more amazing than the one from afar.
To my amazement, I was there with advance and I had time to eat something small.
So I went to the restaurant by the Seine where I was not anymore surprised arrogant staff, instead of that I had a minor shock when I saw the receipt and there was 5,50 Euro for half a liter of sparkling water.
So it was a lesson for next time :)).
Finally, the time was approaching 20:30 and trip participants began to arrive, including our friends - the organizers. And we finally set off for a cruise on the Seine.
And here I wished for a second that I have more time Paris really "experience". Paris is alive with sunset. A changing in another city but it retains the same grandeur as during the day.
With the only difference that families with children in the Seine replaced with young people who sit on the banks of the Seine, drank wine, or played a musical instrument. All of that had something common. Nobody there was alone.
The cruise was over and it was time to experience the nightlife atmosphere. As it happens, not all were planning to go, and here it has Eurotrips.cz planned just perfectly.
We split into two groups. Some went to the hotel, and my evening in Paris which still was not enough, we followed Alex from Eurotrips, and we relied on him to take us someplace serving fine wine. He did not disappoint.
All the way ruled a great mood, and of course could not miss questions: Are we there yet? How far? Of course, there reigned own rules. In Paris, nobody cares about traffic lights. We also didn´t care about it, however we followed the blue light. Although none of us knew what the means, if its stop or go, but at least it was fun :))
Finally we arrived at the bar, where we got great waiter nicknamed "Alfred". The beautiful thing was that even though our "Alfred" did not speak English, always answered before we could ask.
Another very positive things on this trip was the atmosphere and the fact that although I previously did not know each other, as to or actually mainly thanks to the people of Eurotrips we were able to talk as if we have traveled together x years.
If I'm honest, I actually felt there almost better than with the people I know for years.
And that the next day we had planned a trip to Disneyland, and the breakfast was "only" till 9:00, so we sit on the wine pulled through until 2:00 a.m. including our delegates.
Because they could not spoil the fun, and let us get lost somewhere in the middle of Paris :)
The next day, I admit, waking up was cruel, but it all erased arrival to Disneyland, where we went back to childhood.
When the traditional promenade began, accompanied by well-known Disney songs, so I clearly had equipped memories of childhood and the problems of everyday life were gone.
In The Disneyland were other challenges in the form of roller coasters, for which you did not know what to expect, either because they are covered completely, or what is waiting for us, we found the right before joining. And for me it was actually good, because I would miss for sure lots of fun. This way I could at least try adrenalin firsthand.
The second park I unfortunately could not go through what I have succeeded as a pearl in the end, was get lost there. Yes, it would not be me if I did not lose at least once somewhere :)).
Of course, just before the departure of the bus from the park.
But as I indicated at the beginning, the boys nicely helped me over the phone find a way and still call the bus driver.
Mohl bych se alespoň pokusit na konci fyzického stavu spustit. Protože i když bych rád, aby zůstali v Paříži, moje peněženka říká něco jiného. Bohužel.
