Paris at a glance
Hotels=Blue Food=Magenta
Stepping off the plane at Charles de Gaulle airport was literally a dream for me and very bright literally!! The sun damn near fried my eyes. Thank god, I packed sunglasses.
After my 8 hour flight I wanted to freshen up and sorta plan my day. After breakfast at L'Atlantique and quick mapping of area, I decided to take the metro to the Eiffel tower and start from there.
Look at Me, this girl from Harlem that only dreamt of things like this. I've been to Hawaii, Canada and the Bahamas but this was Paris, France !! Fashion, Parties, Food and what dreams are made of.

While in Paris I stayed at the Pullman Montparnasse, which I must say had exceptional service. The Pullman (under renovations currently) is located conveniently across from the Metro. If you would like to eat in the area, there are also quite a few restaurants I recommend.
My first choice would be L'Atlantique. for anytime of day, they offer a classic French breakfast at an affordable price along with great service and extensive menu.
I winded up taking a river cruise instead of going up, the line was Ridiculous to say the least. After realizing going to the top of the Eiffel wasn't happening , I went on to the river cruise along the Seine River. Now the cruise showed you why you go with someone you love!! Just the sunset views were heartbreaking and breath taking. But I was here for renewal, growth and most of all for me.
The river cruise winded up being rather informational. I got to see and learn the history of 20 places along the way. Major plus great pics!!
I bought some nick knacks from the locals and headed off to the Catacombs.
