PICTURES FROM PARIS

I have a lot of pictures to share with you all, I know some of you are dying to see more of the city so I hope this will satisfy your needs ^-^ These are the pictures taken with my sisters camera, the ones from my camera have to wait a bit (they're not developed yet).

OK so I live close to the french border so what we (= my sister + me) did on thursday morning was catch a train to Lille (a city in France about a half an hour away from where I live). From there it was on to a 1-hour ride on the tgv (Train à Grande Vitesse or high speed train) to Paris! At home, I live about a 2 min walk from the train station, so I literally rolled out of my bed, jumped on a train, jumped on another (faster) train and exactly 3 hours after I had rolled out of my bed, I was standing on Paris soil!
We arrived at the Gare du Nord, bought ourselves a Paris Visite card for 2 days (it's a metro card with an unlimited amount of rides, you pay for the number of days you're in the city - really good if you're visiting!) and we were off to the hotel to drop off our bags! On our way to the hotel, we were walking past a little shop with all these bright coloured clothes in their windows, but then, wait, is that a Balmain jacket? Oh yeah it is. And that's just the first shop I saw... Well, it IS Paris after all!



That was fun, no? There's lots more to share...
These were the window displays at Le Bon Marché (well, some of them, that shop is HUGE)




My sister and I had a little list of shops & things we wanted to do/visit and one of them was visiting the Uniqlo shop, they have the BEST jeans, seriously. We can't buy Uniqlo online (you have to live in the UK to do that :/) so this was about the only chance we had! The shop is in a rather (sorry) stupid mall in La Défense, the business quarter of Paris.

Now I present to you, the latest and most anticipated motion picture of the year: "Sofie danse à La Défense!":



(She's carrying her new jeans btw) It was shot in front of La Grande Arche in La Défense, here's another picture of it:



After La Défense we took a metro back to the city centre. We got out at the Tuileries:



Meet my little vintage camera (I promise to get its pictures done ASAP, I'm so curious to see them myself).






The Tuileries are nice, but we didn't go all the way to the Louvre since we both visited it before and it was really really full of people.



Street view...



This is Colette, very busy as you can see (but definitely worth the visit).



A store dedicated ONLY to Comme des Garçons perfumes! ^-^ (the pink windows were so nice)



I'll leave you with this picture of the Avenue de l'Opéra for today, more pictures soon! (If I post all of them at once, this post would get really really long and really really boring)
See you!
