Finally, the end of the trip. Paris, the city of Light. Paris is one of the cities that I would definitely go back to at some point. It is chock full of interesting history.
I visited almost all of the more famous destinations that one might think of when visiting Paris. The Arc de Triomphe,
The Eiffel Tower,
Notre dame, to what extent I could after the fire,
And of course, the catacombs.
Notre dame was a sad sight to see after the fire. It was fenced off, so I couldn’t get too lose to it, but it still felt like a lot of history had been destroyed in that fire.
The catacombs were really cool. All those millions of bones, just sitting there beneath the Paris streets.
The food in Paris was good as well. I was running on a pretty tight budget, so I didn’t go to any expensive restaurants, but there was a falafel place called L’as du Falafel that made some amazing food.
And then, it was time to return home at last. At this point, I was about ready to go home, I had spent a long enough time in Europe.
This was an awesome trip. I am very glad I had the opportunity to experience Europe like I did. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend international travel to anyone and everyone. You don’t have to spend five weeks backpacking around Europe, but just experiencing a culture outside of America was an experience I wouldn’t give up for anything. To all those who made it to the end of this travel log, thanks for traveling with me. Farewell for now.
