A Day in Paris: From the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower

By: Ella Zamzow

Paris—what a dream. From the moment we got in, I could already tell this trip was going to be something special. The streets were busy with people, the architecture was gorgeous, and everything just felt so romantic.

First stop? The Louvre Museum. Walking through it was honestly so pretty—it’s massive, and everywhere you look, there’s something incredible to see. Obviously, we had to check out the Mona Lisa. I knew it was small, but seeing it in person still kind of surprised me. And wow, so. many. people. Everyone was trying to snap a picture, but honestly, just standing there and taking it in was the best part. The whole museum was amazing, and we could’ve spent all day there.

After all that exploring, we had to grab some food. We wandered through the city and found the cutest little café. I had the yummiest croissant, a chai tea, and of course, some crème brûlée because when in Paris, right? Sitting outside, watching people walk by, and just soaking in the city was such a vibe.

As the day started winding down, we headed to the Eiffel Tower to catch the sunset. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. The sky filled with orange, everything looked straight out of a movie. We stayed for a while, just hanging out and taking in the view. Then, just when we thought it couldn’t get better, the tower started sparkling. Literal magic. 

Paris, you were everything and more. I will be back!
