Paris Photo Diary // June 2016

Those who read my last post or follow me on social media will know I recently went to Paris as part of my internship with Temperley. It was my first time visiting the city and we stayed for 7 nights in the 2nd arrondissement. I was working long hours everyday but I managed to squeeze in some sightseeing during the evenings - I wasn't going to waste any spare time I had. It's difficult to regain energy after a day of working but a quick outfit change is all it took for me to feel ready to take on the evenings. It's easy enough to get past the afternoon crash that people often experience when you have a beautiful city at your feet to explore. 

I didn't plan for the trip as I didn't know how much free time I would have but there was certain sights I wanted to see and places I wanted to go. I still have a long list to check off for future visits - I mean, I didn't even go down the Champs-Élysées and I'm a massive shopper. Because of this, I didn't want to do your typical 'travel guide' post but instead more of a photo diary showing you snippets of what I got up to when I was there to provide some inspiration.

Paris is a city I definitely want to go back to and see more of as there's so many things to do, plus it's incredibly easy to get to on the Eurostar. It was much smaller than I expected and you can easily walk around and be somewhere within minutes - I didn't once get the Metro but I did hire a bike which was easy and so much fun. It was also a lot quieter and cleaner than London and, of course, everywhere is so beautiful and photogenic.

If you have any recommendations of where I should go when I'm next in Paris, do let me know in the comments or tweet me @freyaellab - I'd love to know!
