Paris: Part 1

Danielle and Jin's room during their 2 days in Paris

(me by our window)

Hotel Régyn's Montmartre
18 Place Des Abbesses Paris, Paris 75018 France

Our beautiful little room; with the busy-print fabric walls, iron flower
wall lights and balcony windows giving us a view of the Eiffel tower!


One night in our little room in Montmartre wasn't enough.
We could've stayed much longer, walking around the cobbled streets of Paris.
We could've spend more time visiting more museums,
taking breaks in between to stop for hot chocolate or macaroons.
Our room overlooked the little square below that had a children’s carousel,
a large church and the abbesses metro station. 
 

 
In the evening we stocked up on pretzels, crisps, yoghurt’s and wine from the supermarket
and spoilt our appetite by devouring it all.
Following that, we did not eat out at dinner.
We lounged on our bed sipping wine and watching the French version of pop idol.
It was cheesy and ridiculous, so naturally we enjoyed it.
Outside the Eiffel tower was lit up and sparkling.  
From the top, a searchlight circled the city of Paris.

Jin enjoys herself so much that she faints
 
                                    The first thing we did in the morning was look out of the window
at the Eiffel tower in its crisp February morning.
We were sad to repack our bags and wish our room farewell.
