Paris is constantly romanticized through everything; literature, movies, poetry. But, no literary genius or renown cinematographer could ever capture the vast indiscernible beauty I have experienced this first week in Paris.
Every street is adorned with cafés, flower shops and unique small stores as the overwhelming smell of sweet crêpes and fresh espresso fill the air with each step you take down the cobblestone streets.
Everything is beautiful, the people, the language, the architecture. You feel as if you could run into Hemmingway and Fitzgerald in the café down the street, giving Paris an almost nostalgic feel that you cannot help but get caught up in. I cannot wait to continue this journey!
