Paris Pt. I

© tedguuphoto 2013 all rights reserved

Paris, a city enriched in culture and history is one of Europe's most romantic and enchanting destinations. It is without doubt that more than 30 million tourists a year flock into this city to admire it's beauty through architecture, people and of course French food!

The journey to Paris is an absolute pleasure. My first impressions of the city had already been quite positive since I've first arrived at the 'Gare du Nord' station. The architecture is absolutely phenomenal. But above all it was the Louvre. The museum is one of the 'must-see' sights in Paris with so many things to do, but many tourists seem to come all the way here only to see the Mona Lisa. I was extremely shocked to see such thing, I'm not saying that it is wrong to do so, but there's just so many other artifacts and masterpieces to admire, even the building itself is thing worthy of appreciation.

The Eiffel tower was my next destination. It is without doubt the most crowded place in all of France, but I should say the view is absolutely breathtaking, and definitely worth the wait. There's too much to say about the Eiffel Tower, so I will leave it there for you guys to enjoy the photographs for yourself.

This first series of photographs from Paris is some of the best shots taken during the trip and I hope these series of photos would stimulate the 'traveller' inside you and convince you to take a trip of your life to one of the world's most beautiful city, Paris.
