Paris Bucket List


Moving to Paris is not far away now, eek, so it's probably time to actually start thinking about it. I've been to Paris before, in high school, and saw most of the sights but I didn't really enjoy myself because of blah blah blah so this time I'm going to really try and see the city properly.


Me in Paris in 2008, bloody hell!

I've attempted a bucket list and hopefully I'll get at least 50% done!  

  • buy a book from Shakespeare and Company bookshop
  • revisit Musée d'Orsay (last time I was drunk, don't ask)
  • see a film at la Pagode (I wonder if they have salty popcorn) they didn't :( BUT they supplied fleecy blankets
  • take a tour of les Catacombes
  • revisit the Louvre (last time I spent two hours looking for the Mona Lisa)
  • light a candle for my Nan's birthday at Sacre-Coeur Basilica
  • climb to the top of Notre Dame and pretend I'm a gargoyle
  • watch a ballet, preferably Sleeping Beauty, at Palais Garnier (keep dreaming) I've been inside, just not to a performance
  • go to the Chanel shop and drool over handbags
  • buy a watercolour of the Eiffel Tower (if I can find that man who was selling them...) It's oil but it counts, ok
  • watch a fashion show at Galeries Lafayette
  • stand where royal blood was spilled at Place de la Concorde
  • visit Marché aux Puces and buy something intriguing
  • go to la Conciergerie and have a butchers at Marie Antoinette's cell
  • attempt a Vélib ride along the Seine (should be...interesting) wasn't possible!
  • have a coffee in Café des Moulins, the one from Amelié (which you've all seen, I know)
  • actually try a macaroon
  • take a cheesy photo on Pont Neuf
  • visit Monet's gardens in Giverny and find inspiration to do...something I CAN'T THEY CLOSED ON 1ST NOVEMBER :(
  • 'woah, wow' at Palace of Versailles
  • have a fancy meal with my best friend for my 21st (we met in Paris, bezzer 4 lyf)
