French Mademoiselle in Paris: Day 15

Bonjour!

T
oday is my last day in Paris.
We leave in a couple of hours.

We'll be heading towards Gare du Nord and taking the high speed train
back to Holland.

Gare du Nord


This morning we did a little bit of last-minute shopping, packing and
cleaning up the apartment.

I have loved every second of these last 2 weeks.
Staying in Paris for so long and having my own little apartment to stay
has been a dream of mine for many years.
I'm so glad I finally puckered up the courage to do it.

I will miss my street, Rue Saint-Sauveur.

Rue Saint Sauveur, Paris


Which is just off the pedestrian street Rue Montorgueil, filled with bakeries,
pâtisseries, restaurants and shops.

Stohrer


I will miss getting le petit déjeuner from Maison Collet.

Maison Collet


I will miss taking the subway from Réaumur - Sébastopol.

2nd Arrondissement


I will miss walking through the beautiful streets of Paris and gawking
at the even-more gorgeous buildings.

7th Arrondissement


I will miss the beautiful parks that lie here and there in Paris.

Parc Monceau


I will miss walking past the Seine, refusing to take the metro,
just to see the view.

Île Saint-Louis


I will miss the lovely window displays.

Ladurée - Rue Bonaparte


The stores, of course ;)

Printemps


But one of things I will miss the most is the Eiffel Tower,
popping out everywhere.

I hope you have enjoyed my journey with me!

Au Revoir,

Your journey has been wonderful and it has been lovely to revisit my beautiful Paris. I had a dream too like yours to live there for 2 weeks and did this May - June. It was perfection. I thought maybe I might then have had my fill of Paris but no. The city still continues to draw me back time and time again.
I haven't started planning my next trip yet but I am sure it will happen.
I didnt realise you were in Holland. My brother lives there - in Castricum. I have taken the thalys from Gare de Nord to Amsterdam a few times.
Safe journeys.

Safe travels back to Holland.
The photos are lovely but now I am sad. Isn't it amazing how city can capture a piece of your heart? Paris, is truly a magical place.
