Paris is synonymous with romance. Five days and four nights, between the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Seine River, you can understand the elegance of the French people ingrained in their bones.
The night view of the Eiffel Tower is not to be missed; during the five minutes of flashing lights, the steel frame flows like diamonds in the deep blue sky. Picnicking at Champ de Mars and taking photos under the tower are the most classic ways to start Paris.
Beneath the Louvre's glass pyramid, the Mona Lisa's smile and Venus's severed arm represent the pinnacle of human aesthetics. It's recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowds so you can quietly gaze at the masterpiece.
Strolling or boating along the Seine, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Musée d'Orsay, and secondhand book stalls open up one after another. Picking up a poetry collection at a riverside bookstall is a unique Parisian romance.
The Sacré-Cœur Church on Montmartre overlooks the whole city with its white roof, and portrait sketches in Artists' Place cost ten euros each. In the evening, listening to street performers play piano on the steps, Parisian laziness is at its strongest.
Parisian romance is about turning life into art. When you spend an afternoon sitting in a corner café watching passersby hurry, you'll understand the French saying, "To be alive is to celebrate."
