Neon heart, day-glow eyes,
The city lit by fireflies,
They're advertising in the skies,
And people like us.

Who doesn't fall in love in Paris? This city was memorable for the both of us. This is the city where Brock confessed his love and hopes for a "future" together.

This is my nth time to Paris and every time I still get the thrill and the excitement seeing I.M. Pei's famous glass pyramid - the entrance to the Louvre Museum. This was Brock's first time so we explored the whole of Paris and then some.

Paris is a place for people who love history, art and immerse themselves in the rich culture of Paris has to offer. A tour in Europe is incomplete without seeing the most vibrant city of them all. It is very easy to navigate for first timers.
